Artikelnummer 10176119

This catalogue presents a curated selection of historical medical prints — anatomical engravings, early physician illustrations, hospital and medical-practice scenes — from the collection of the SmithKline Corporation presented to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It traces the visual history of medicine through art: from Renaissance anatomical studies (such as those of Andreas Vesalius) to more modern medical illustrations and prints. The collection, compiled by Carl Zigrosser, aims to show how art and medicine intersect: how medical knowledge, practice, suffering, healing and the human body have been depicted by artists over centuries, offering both scientific documentation and profound aesthetic and cultural insight into the history of medicine and the human condition.
