EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tapestry fragment depicting St Cosmas and St Damian, created between 1450-75 by the Swiss School in the 15th century. Measuring 81.2x77.4 cm, this remarkable piece is housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The tapestry portrays two figures - Brother physicians from the port of Aegeae - who were renowned for their selflessness and refusal to accept payment for their medical services. Their unwavering dedication to helping others ultimately led to their martyrdom. The intricate weaving technique employed in this textile masterpiece is evident through its use of wool and linen materials. The attention to detail brings these saintly figures to life, capturing both their physical features and compassionate spirits. With medicine being an integral part of their story, this artwork beautifully intertwines religion and healthcare. It serves as a reminder of the noble values that underpin Christianity while highlighting the importance of selfless service towards those in need. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only a stunning work of art but also a testament to faith, sacrifice, and compassion. The image invites us to reflect on our own actions and consider how we can emulate these virtuous qualities in our modern lives.
