The Royal College of Physicians, a prestigious institution with a rich history, has been at the forefront of medical advancements for centuries. Founded in 1518 by Nicholas Culpeper, an esteemed English physician known for his contributions to herbal medicine, this institution has played a pivotal role in shaping the field of medicine. Throughout its existence, the Royal College of Physicians has witnessed numerous significant events that have left an indelible mark on its legacy. One such event was the Conversazione at the Royal College of Physicians in Pall Mall East in 1888. Although the creator remains unknown, this gathering brought together brilliant minds from various medical disciplines to exchange knowledge and ideas. In another captivating piece titled "William Stukeley, " painted around 1726, we catch a glimpse into the lives and work of physicians during that era.
