EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boerhaave and the Histerical Women in the Hospital of Leyden" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Painted by P. Ros in the 19th century, this large chromolithograph depicts an intriguing scene from the past. The image showcases renowned scientist and physician Herman Boerhaave surrounded by a group of histerical women within the walls of Leyden's modern academic hospital. Boerhaave, known for his contributions to botany and medicine, was also recognized as a humanist who believed in treating patients with compassion and understanding. In this particular setting, he is seen examining these women who suffered from hysteria—a condition prevalent during that era. With lesions being one of its symptoms, these women sought solace within the confines of this hospital where they could receive care under Boerhaave's watchful eye. The composition beautifully captures both scientific discovery and learning as it unfolds before our eyes. The image not only highlights Boerhaave's expertise but also sheds light on the significance of early medical advancements made during that time period. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to an era when scientists like Boerhaave dedicated their lives to unraveling mysteries surrounding human health while providing compassionate care to those in need.
