EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satirical artwork titled "Medical Consultation" by renowned French painter Louis-Leopold Boilly. Created around 1830, this piece of art depicts a group of doctors engaged in a lively discussion during a medical consultation. The scene is brought to life through the intricate details and expressions captured by Boilly's brushstrokes. The print featured here is from the German book "Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin" (Caricature and Satire in Medicine) published in 1921 by Eugen Hollander, an esteemed German art historian and physician. This particular copy serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Boilly's work on both the artistic and medical communities. In this image, we witness elderly European doctors adorned with wigs and walking sticks engaging in animated conversation while one doctor attentively listens with an ear trumpet. The artwork cleverly caricatures these physicians, highlighting their distinct personalities and emphasizing their disagreements within the consultation room. As we delve into this historical illustration, it offers us not only insight into medicine during the 19th century but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of art itself. Through satire and wit, Boilly challenges our perception of authority figures while shedding light on human nature within professional settings. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance of Louis-Leopold Boilly and his contribution to capturing moments that transcend time.
