EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "Surgery" by the talented artist Jan Sanders van Hemessen, created between 1550 and 1555. Housed in the prestigious Museo del Prado in Madrid, this masterpiece takes us back to the fascinating world of medicine during the Renaissance era. The scene depicts a surgeon diligently attending to his patient, highlighting the intricate process of medical treatment in those times. The doctor's focused expression reveals his expertise and dedication as he performs a delicate procedure on an afflicted individual. This artwork offers a glimpse into the history of medicine, reminding us of how far we have come in terms of advancements and techniques. Van Hemessen's attention to detail is evident through every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical aspects but also conveying emotions associated with sickness and healing. The use of oil on wood adds depth and richness to this early Netherlandish art piece. As we admire this genre painting, known as "Cure of Folly" or "Extraction of the Stone of Madness" it serves as a reminder that throughout history, artists have played an important role in documenting various aspects of society beyond mere aesthetics. This particular work invites contemplation about our own understanding and perception surrounding illness and its treatment.
