EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing titled "An epileptic" from the series "Etude de la physiognomy des alienes", created by Gabriel in 1818. The artist, Georges Francois Gabriel, delves into the realm of human emotions and physical conditions with great precision. In this particular piece, Gabriel focuses on an individual suffering from epilepsy, a condition that has long been misunderstood and stigmatized throughout history. With meticulous attention to detail, he captures the essence of the subject's struggle through his expertly rendered lines and shading. The engraving portrays both the physical manifestations of epilepsy as well as its emotional toll. The viewer is confronted with a sense of vulnerability and empathy towards this afflicted soul. It serves as a poignant reminder of society's need for greater understanding and compassion towards those living with neurological disorders. This thought-provoking image transports us back to a time when medical knowledge was limited, yet artists like Gabriel sought to shed light on these complex conditions through their artistry. Through his masterful technique, he invites us to contemplate not only the physical aspects but also the humanity behind each ailment. Leonard de Selva beautifully captures this historical artwork in stunning detail, allowing viewers today to appreciate its significance within medical history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of our shared humanity and our ongoing quest for understanding in all aspects of life.
