EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting of William Harvey, the renowned royal physician of the 17th century. The oil on canvas artwork, measuring 134x111 cm, is housed in the prestigious Royal College of Physicians in London, UK. Although mistakenly attributed to Cornelius Jansen, this masterpiece remains an invaluable testament to Harvey's groundbreaking discovery of the circulation of blood. The portrait captures Harvey as an elderly man with a distinguished presence. His long white beard and receding hairline speak volumes about his wisdom and experience. Every brushstroke seems to breathe life into his weathered face, revealing both determination and compassion. As we gaze at this mesmerizing piece, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness the brilliance that unfolded within those walls centuries ago. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity and skepticism, true pioneers like Harvey have forever altered our understanding of human anatomy. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail and nuance present in this historic painting. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind it but also pays homage to one man's relentless pursuit for knowledge that transformed medical science forever.
