EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of ancient healing in vivid detail. Taken from the illustration "Medical massage" by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier, it is part of The Works of Hippocrates collection dating back to 1934. In this scene, we witness a female patient lying on a sickbed while receiving medical treatment through the art of massage. The image transports us to antiquity, where Greek physician Hippocrates and his medical practitioners utilized various techniques to cure ailments. Here, the physician's hands are skillfully kneading the patient's stomach with oiled palms, showcasing their expertise in relieving sickness and hardness within the body. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of holistic healing practices. The use of oil during massages was believed to enhance therapeutic effects and promote overall well-being. As we observe this intimate interaction between doctor and patient, we are reminded that health has always been an essential aspect of human existence. This timeless depiction serves as a testament to our enduring pursuit for physical well-being throughout history. With every intricate detail captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder, this print invites us into an ancient world where medicine intertwines with compassion and skilled touch - reminding us that even centuries ago, individuals sought solace through the power of healing hands.
