EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jan Havicksz Steen's masterpiece, "La visite du docteur (The Doctors Visit)". Painted in oil on wood and measuring 61x49 cm, this artwork is a true gem from the 17th century. Currently housed in the prestigious Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, it offers a glimpse into Flemish art of that era. The painting depicts a scene of medical consultation within a domestic setting. A doctor attentively examines his patient while an anxious woman looks on. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to the room, adorned with exquisite furnishings including a grand bed and upholstered goods. Steen masterfully captures the essence of health and illness through this intimate portrayal. The viewer can almost feel the tension as they witness the sick person seeking treatment from their trusted physician. It serves as a reminder of how medicine has evolved over time, yet also highlights our enduring need for care during times of sickness. Asclepius, symbolizing healing and medicine in Greek mythology, seems to loom over this scene like an invisible presence. This allusion adds depth to Steen's work by connecting it to ancient beliefs surrounding health and well-being. Through this print provided by Bridgeman Images, we are granted access to appreciate not only Steen's artistic brilliance but also gain insight into historical medical practices. It is truly an extraordinary piece that invites contemplation about our own relationship with healthcare throughout history.
