EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting depicts Hammurabi, the legendary King of Babylonia, who ruled from 1798 to 1756 BC. Hammurabi is famously known for the codification of laws, most notably the Hammurabi Code, which was inscribed on a stele around 1900 BC. The code set the standards for the medical profession, making it one of the earliest documented instances of professional liability. In this scene, Hammurabi is shown seated on his throne, flanked by his scribe and courtier. A doctor, identified by his stethoscope-like instrument, presents a case before the king. The scene exudes an air of justice and the rule of law, reflecting Hammurabi's commitment to fairness and order. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the historical moment to life, transporting us back to ancient Babylon in Mesopotamia. This painting is a testament to the rich history of Babylonian medicine and the enduring legacy of Hammurabi's legal reforms.
