EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Johann Gelle's masterpiece, "The Physician as a Human Being: The Four Forms of the Physician". In the center of the image stands a physician, holding a pair of tweezers and delicately cradling a miniature heart. Surrounding him are various instruments of medicine, symbolizing his expertise and dedication to healing. The backdrop reveals an intimate interior of a residential house, where two scenes unfold on either side. On the left, we witness a sick patient bravely leaving their bed in search of recovery. On the right, a sick man receives support from his loving family during this challenging time. A thought-provoking Latin, German, and Dutch caption accompanies this artwork—a part of Gelle's four-part series that explores different facets of doctors and medical science. It delves into themes such as the doctor-patient relationship, medical examination and treatment techniques, scientific research tools like laboratory equipment—all crucial elements in understanding healthcare practices during 1609 when this engraving was created. Gelle skillfully captures how society perceives physicians; once they have successfully healed someone almost completely, people would rather bid them farewell than see them return for further treatment—an intriguing reflection on human nature. This remarkable piece invites viewers to ponder upon the multifaceted role physicians play in our lives while appreciating their tireless efforts to restore health and well-being.
