EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Physician and Patient of the Sixteenth Century" takes us back to a time when medical practices were vastly different from what we know today. Created by Jan Havicksz Steen in the 17th century, this print offers a glimpse into the world of medicine during the 16th century. In this scene, we see a physician attentively examining his patient. The doctor is dressed in traditional attire, complete with a long robe and an elaborate hat that signifies his profession. He holds a book in one hand, perhaps referencing his extensive knowledge of medical texts. The patient sits before him, looking slightly apprehensive yet hopeful for relief from their ailment. Their clothing reflects the fashion of the era – intricate garments adorned with lace and ruffles. This engraving not only captures the physical appearance of these individuals but also provides insight into their social standing and cultural context. It reminds us that healthcare has evolved significantly over centuries, highlighting how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and understanding. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder to appreciate our modern healthcare system while acknowledging those who paved the way for its development.
