The Four Humours - A Fascinating Glimpse into Renaissance Medicine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "The Four Humours" from the renowned work Quinta Essentia by Leonhart Thurneisser zun Thurn. Published in Leipzig in 1574, this masterpiece of German alchemical art offers a profound insight into the medical beliefs and practices of the 16th century. The image depicts four allegorical figures representing the fundamental bodily fluids known as humours: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. Each figure embodies distinct characteristics associated with their respective humour - sanguine for blood, melancholic for black bile, choleric for yellow bile, and phlegmatic for phlegm. These elemental fluids were believed to influence an individual's temperament and overall health. The study of these humours formed the basis of medical understanding during the Renaissance period. This engraving serves as a visual representation of this complex theory. With meticulous detail and artistic finesse, this print not only captures historical significance but also reflects upon the intricate relationship between medicine and alchemy during that era. It stands as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in its quest to comprehend both body and soul. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it transports us back in time to an age when science intertwined with mysticism; where theories on human health were shaped by ancient wisdom blended with emerging scientific thought.
