EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study of Ambroise Paré, the renowned Father of Modern Surgery. Created by Louis Nicolas Matout, this charcoal and white chalk wash on paper artwork is housed in the Musee de l'Assistance Publique, Hopitaux de Paris in France. In this remarkable piece, we witness Paré's groundbreaking contribution to medical history. Known for his revolutionary techniques, he introduced a significant advancement in surgical procedures by substituting cauterization with a red-hot iron for ligature of arteries after amputations. This preparatory drawing was originally intended as part of a fresco that adorned the Amphitheatre of the School of Medicine in Paris but unfortunately perished during the devastating fire on October 15th, 1889. Matout skillfully captures Paré's essence through intricate detailing and masterful shading. The portrait exudes an air of wisdom and determination as it immortalizes one of medicine's most influential figures. This image not only serves as a tribute to Ambroise Paré but also provides us with a glimpse into medieval medicine and surgery practices. It reminds us how far we have come in advancing medical knowledge and techniques throughout history. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported back in time to appreciate the pioneering work of Ambroise Paré – forever etching his name into the annals of modern surgery.
