EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Girolamo Frascatoro, an influential Italian physician, poet, and astronomer of the late 16th century. The artist behind this remarkable portrait is Theodor de Bry. Frascatoro was a visionary thinker who proposed the groundbreaking theory that diseases were caused by tiny entities resembling seeds, which we now know as germs or microbes. He believed these microscopic organisms could transmit infections over long distances. Frascatoro's most renowned work was his poetic description of syphilis titled "Syphilis sive morbus Gallicus" (Syphilis or the French Disease), published in 1530. This literary masterpiece shed light on the sexually transmitted disease and its devastating effects during an era when medical knowledge was limited. Not only a brilliant scientist but also a talented poet and astronomer, Frascatoro made significant contributions to various fields of study. His profile in this engraving captures his intellect and determination as he navigated through the Renaissance period. As we delve into this historical image, we are reminded of Frascatoro's lasting impact on medicine, literature, and astronomy. His theories paved the way for modern epidemiology while his artistic pursuits showcased his multifaceted talents. This print serves as a testament to Girolamo Frascatoro's legacy as one of Italy's most distinguished physicians and intellectuals of the 16th century.
