EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Thomas Linacre, an influential English physician and humanist who left an indelible mark on history. Born around 1460, Linacre's thirst for knowledge led him to study medicine in the renowned city of Padua, Italy. It was there that he honed his medical skills and acquired a deep understanding of the healing arts. Linacre's intellectual prowess extended beyond medicine; he also possessed a profound command of Greek language and literature. His expertise in this field allowed him to teach Greek to prominent figures such as Erasmus and Sir Thomas More, both renowned scholars in their own right. Not only did Linacre impart his wisdom upon fellow intellectuals, but he also served as a tutor to Prince Arthur, the eldest son of King Henry VII. This prestigious role showcased his ability to educate even those from royal lineage. Recognizing the need for professional standards within the medical community, Linacre founded the Royal College of Physicians—an institution that continues to thrive today. Through this establishment, he sought to elevate medical practice by promoting rigorous training and ethical conduct among physicians. Preserved through time via wood engraving, this print captures not only Linacre's physical appearance but also symbolizes his enduring legacy as a pioneer in both medicine and education.
