EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Conversion of Galen," depicts the renowned Greek physician Claudius Galen (129-199 AD) in a poignant moment of reflection. Galen, dressed in the robes of a scholar and adorned with a philosopher's mantle, stands before an altar, gazing intently at a skeleton. The skeleton, draped in a toga and wearing sandals, symbolizes the human body, a constant reminder of the fragility and impermanence of life. Galen was a prolific author and a leading figure in the medical world of the Roman Empire. He is best known for his theory of the four humours – blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile – which influenced medical thought for over a thousand years. Galen's expertise extended beyond medicine, and he was also a skilled pharmacist and an accomplished gladiator, having treated five Roman emperors and even participating in gladiatorial combat as a means of healing. The conversion in this image likely refers to Galen's acceptance of the divine aspect of the human body and the role of the gods in health and healing. As a devout Hellenist, Galen believed that the body and soul were interconnected, and that the gods played a crucial role in maintaining both. This profound realization is captured in the image, as Galen, with a deep sense of reverence, acknowledges the sacredness of the human form. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and thoughts of one of history's most influential physicians. Galen's enduring legacy continues to inspire and inform the medical profession, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of his profound understanding of the human body and the divine.
