EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Britain. Created by Peter Simon and Francis Jukes, this hand-colored etching and aquatint showcases their remarkable talent for capturing both the essence of the era and the intricacies of human existence. In this allegorical masterpiece, we find ourselves in an intimate indoor setting where a physician confronts death itself. The doctor's profession is brought to life through his meticulous attention to detail - from his medical tools such as syringes and spoons, symbolizing science and medicine, to the patient anxiously awaiting his fate. The concept behind this artwork delves into profound themes of mortality and health. With sharp wit and satire, Simon and Jukes explore our eternal struggle against death's inevitability. Through their skilled use of color, they infuse humor into what could otherwise be a somber scene.

"The Doctor Dismissing Death" serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with life's fragility while celebrating the resilience of humanity in its pursuit of knowledge and healing. This print by Peter Simon Francis Jukes invites us on a journey through history - one that prompts introspection about our own mortality while marveling at the artistic genius that has preserved it for centuries.
