EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hyacum et lues venerea, plate 6 from Nova Reperta" takes us back in time to the late 16th century. Engraved by Philip Galle, this piece is part of a series called Nova Reperta, which showcases various inventions and discoveries of that era. In this particular design, created by Jan van der Straet (also known as Giovanni Stradano), we are presented with a fascinating juxtaposition. On one side, we see a convalescent man who appears unwell but hopeful for recovery. Meanwhile, in the adjacent kitchen, an intriguing medicine named Hyacum is being prepared to treat venereal disease. The composition not only highlights the importance of medical advancements during that period but also offers insight into domestic life and healthcare practices at the time. The attention to detail in depicting both the bedroom and kitchen interiors adds depth and realism to the scene. As viewers, we are left contemplating how far medical science has come since then while appreciating the historical significance of these early attempts at finding cures for ailments like venereal disease. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of our progress and invites us to reflect on our own present-day innovations in medicine.
