EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Music Therapy" takes us back to ancient Greece, where the power of music was believed to have healing properties. The illustration is part of a collection called "The Works of Hippocrates" created in 1934 by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier. In this scene, we witness a female patient lying on a sickbed, her face expressing discomfort and pain. A male physician stands beside her, deeply engrossed in his attempt to cure her ailment. However, it is not his medical expertise alone that captivates our attention but rather the presence of a flute player standing nearby. According to the information provided, whenever the patient would indulge in excessive drinking, she would be frightened by the melodious tunes played by the flute player. This unique form of therapy aimed at deterring harmful habits and promoting healthier choices. The image beautifully captures an antiquity medical scene with its intricate details and vibrant colors brought forth through lithography. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, physicians recognized the importance of holistic approaches to healthcare. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that medicine encompasses more than just physical remedies; it also involves addressing emotional well-being and employing alternative methods such as music therapy for overall healing.
