EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the enigmatic figure of Ambroise Pare, a renowned French surgeon and author of seminal works on medicine and monstrosities. Dated to around 1590, the print depicts Pare in the prime of his career, donning the fashionable attire of the time. The voluminous, high-collared ruff and the intricately designed gown are typical of the late 16th century, adding an air of sophistication to the portrait. Pare's well-groomed beard and piercing gaze further emphasize his authority and expertise. Born in 1510, Pare began his medical career as an apprentice barber-surgeon before advancing to become the personal surgeon to King Henry II of France. His groundbreaking contributions to the field of surgery include the use of tourniquets, which significantly reduced blood loss during operations, and the development of a painkilling ointment made from opium, which revolutionized the practice of amputations. In addition to his surgical innovations, Pare was also a prolific writer. His most famous works, "Des Monstres et Prodiges" (On Monsters and Prodigies) and "Les Oeuvres Chirurgicales" (The Surgical Works), were published in 1573 and 1564, respectively. These books showcased his extensive knowledge of anatomy and provided detailed illustrations of various monstrous births and deformities, making them invaluable resources for both medical professionals and the general public. This print, produced by the esteemed Jacquand workshop, offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine. With its intricate details and historical accuracy, it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Ambroise Pare and his groundbreaking contributions to the field.
