EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of medicine - a gynaecological examination depicted in an illustration from The Works of Hippocrates. Dating back to 1934, this colour lithograph by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier showcases the ancient practice of treating women's health issues. The scene unfolds with a female patient lying down on a bed, while a male physician conducts the examination. With great precision and expertise, he employs various tools to diagnose and potentially cure ailments related to the woman's reproductive system. This intimate portrayal sheds light on the importance placed on women's health even in antiquity. The illustration not only highlights the medical practitioner's dedication but also emphasizes how these examinations were conducted within Greek society during Hippocrates' time. The nudity portrayed here is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment, showcasing both vulnerability and trust between doctor and patient. As we delve into this historical depiction, it becomes evident that this artwork serves as an educational tool for modern-day gynaecologists. It offers insights into early medical practices while reminding us of the progress made over centuries. Preserved within private collections today, this image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate art's ability to capture moments that transcend time - bridging ancient Greece with our contemporary understanding of medicine.
