EDITORS COMMENTS
This and unsettling print captures a moment of sheer madness within the walls of a Russian operating theatre. Painted by an anonymous French artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph depicts a doctor who has succumbed to insanity while performing surgery on a sick patient. The scene is filled with tension as the mentally ill physician brandishes his scalpel threateningly, shocking both his colleagues and the helpless patient lying on the table. The surgeon's eyes reveal a disturbing glimpse into his disturbed mind, reflecting the dangerous consequences that can arise when one's sanity unravels in such a critical setting. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on September 17th, 1911, this image serves as a haunting reminder of the fragility of mental health within healthcare professionals. It raises questions about how far-reaching mental illness can be and its potential impact on patients' well-being. Intriguingly composed and expertly executed, this artwork delves into themes of madness, medicine, and human vulnerability. It reminds us that even those entrusted with our physical health are not immune to their own battles with mental instability. As we gaze upon this striking piece from our private collection, we cannot help but ponder over the delicate balance between sanity and insanity that exists within every individual – especially those tasked with preserving life itself.
