EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from the Shadow and Substance series by renowned Victorian artist, Charles H. Bennett. The series, comprised of shadow portraits of fictional characters, showcases Bennett's exceptional artistic skill and innovative approach to visual storytelling. In this particular illustration, we meet "Physic," also known as The Earl of Allswallough. The doctor is depicted in the act of drawing a shadow of a patient, perhaps diagnosing or treating an ailment through the art of shadow analysis. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and intrigue to the scene. Bennett's Shadow and Substance series, created in 1860, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of both art and medicine during the Victorian era. The doctor's attire and the ornate surroundings reflect the elegance and sophistication of the time. The title "Physic" suggests a connection to the field of medicine, further emphasizing the series' exploration of the intersection between art and science. This intriguing shadow portrait invites us to ponder the mysteries of the human condition, the power of the mind, and the role of art in understanding the complexities of the world around us. Bennett's work remains a testament to the enduring allure of shadows and the boundless imagination of the Victorian era.
