EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed English doctor and poet, Samuel Garth. The portrait captures his dignified presence, with a hint of intellectual curiosity in his eyes. Below the portrait, an intricate image unfolds, depicting Garth engrossed in his work amidst symbolic representations of medicine and poetry. The snake-wrapped staff of Asclepius gracefully encircles him, symbolizing the noble profession of medicine that he dedicated himself to. It serves as a reminder of healing and wisdom intertwined. Alongside this emblem stands a winch, representing the realm of poetry that Garth also ventured into with great skill and passion. The Aesculapian sign further emphasizes his connection to medicine while various musical instruments like lyre, cithara, and psaltery allude to his prowess in lyric poetry. These symbolic representations add depth to the image by weaving together allegories and emblems associated with both fields that defined Garth's life. Preserved on paper from 1748, this remarkable piece was created by Jacob Houbraken under Amsterdam's artistic influence. Its dimensions measure 356 mm in height and 223 mm in width. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Liszt Collection (not affiliated with any commercial use), we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance and multifaceted nature of Samuel Garth - a man who seamlessly merged two distinct worlds: medicine for healing bodies and poetry for soothing souls.
