EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed French surgeon and anatomist, Alfred-Armand-Louise-Marie Velpeau, in all his professional glory. Taken around 1867 by Pierre Petit, this woodburytype image showcases the distinguished physician in a moment of introspection. Dr. Velpeau's contribution to the field of medicine during the 19th century cannot be overstated. His expertise and dedication to his craft made him one of France's most renowned surgeons of his time. In this portrait, we see a man who exudes confidence and intelligence, with deep lines etched on his face that speak volumes about his years spent studying human anatomy. The photograph itself is a testament to both artistry and historical significance. Published in the periodical "Galerie Contemporaine Litteraire, Artistique" in 1877, it serves as a visual record of an era when medical science was rapidly advancing. Pierre Petit's masterful composition highlights Dr. Velpeau's commanding presence against a simple backdrop, allowing viewers to focus solely on the subject at hand - a man who dedicated his life to healing others through meticulous study and surgical precision. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art center fortunate enough to house it within their collection, we are reminded not only of Dr. Velpeau's immense contributions but also of the countless lives he touched through his pioneering work in medicine.
