EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the fourteenth century, offering a glimpse into the world of surgery during that time. The engraving, based on a manuscript by renowned French surgeon Guy de Chaulliac, depicts an anatomy lesson conducted by a doctor. In this vertical composition, we see two individuals engrossed in the lesson while looking away from each other. The setting is indoors, likely within a scholarly environment where education and knowledge were highly valued. As was customary in those days, only men are present in the room. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of French culture and showcases their advancements in healthcare and medicine. The intricate illustration technique used to create this engraved image highlights the skill and artistry of its creator. Latin script adorns the margins of this piece, adding an air of authenticity and historical significance. As we observe closely, our attention is drawn to a human skeleton prominently displayed on a table at the center of the scene. This serves as both an educational tool for students and a reminder of mortality within medical practice. Overall, this fascinating print offers us not only a window into history but also reflects upon how far we have come in terms of medical knowledge and techniques since Guy de Chaulliac's era.
