1668 1738 Curly Frame Hermann Hinton Oval Physician Snake Boerhaave
EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval print showcases the enlightened face of Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738), a renowned Dutch physician and professor of medicine at the University of Leiden. Boerhaave is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine, known for his groundbreaking work on the functions of the stomach and intestines. His teachings on the importance of clinical observation and bedside manner revolutionized medical education and practice. The portrait, featuring Boerhaave with a warm and inviting smile, showcases his curly hair and the elegant folds of his clothing. The intricate detail of the frame adds an air of sophistication and historical significance to the image. The presence of a snake coiled around the bottom of the frame is a symbolic representation of the medical profession, as snakes were often associated with the healing arts in ancient Greece and Rome. Boerhaave's legacy continues to shape the field of medicine, with many of his teachings still relevant today. His emphasis on the importance of a thorough physical examination and the use of empirical evidence to inform diagnosis and treatment paved the way for modern medical practices. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Boerhaave's contributions to the world of medicine and the importance of continued scientific inquiry and discovery. This print is available through Mary Evans Prints Online and is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of medicine or the works of influential figures in the field.
