The Magical Finger - A Glimpse into the World of Frans Anton Mesmer
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 18th century, where we witness a whimsical caricature depicting Frans Anton Mesmer, a renowned German doctor and the founder of animal magnetism or mesmerism. The image, an engraving from "La Nature. Revue des sciences et de ses applications aux arts et à l'industrie" in 1886, showcases the artist's anthropomorphic interpretation of Mesmer's theories. In this enchanting portrayal, Mesmer is depicted with his magical finger extended towards a group of animated figures who seem to be under his spell. The intricate details and expressive lines bring life to this ancient scene, showcasing both the creativity and humor prevalent during that era. Mesmerism was a controversial theory that suggested healing could be achieved through magnetic forces present in living beings. This print captures the essence of Mesmer's influence on health and medicine during his time. It serves as a reminder of how ideas evolve over centuries and how pioneers like Mesmer paved the way for modern medical practices. The black-and-white aesthetic adds an air of mystery to this historical artwork while highlighting its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness one man's quest for understanding human nature through mesmerizing techniques.
