EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Hippocrates, the renowned Greek doctor, refuses to accept the lavish gifts offered by Artaxerxes II Mnemon, king of Persia and Pharaoh of Egypt. Painted by Anne Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson in 1814, this masterpiece is housed in the former academy of surgery, now known as the Faculty of Medicine. Hippocrates, also known as "the Great" or Hippocrates of Cos, lived during 460-370 BC and was revered for his ethical approach to medicine. In this painting, he stands firm in his principles despite being tempted with valuable presents. His refusal symbolizes his commitment to treating patients based on their needs rather than personal gain. Girodet de Roucy-Trioson's artistic prowess shines through in every brushstroke. The attention to detail and use of light and shadow create a dramatic atmosphere that perfectly captures the intensity of this historic encounter. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment between two influential figures. It serves as a reminder that true greatness lies not only in one's skills but also in their unwavering dedication to doing what is right. This print is a testament to both artistry and history—a timeless piece that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries after its creation.
