EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etched print, we are transported back in time to witness a profound encounter between two great minds - Hippocrates and Democritus. Created by the talented artist Jacques de Gheyn II, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of these influential figures. Set against a backdrop of an expansive sky, we see Hippocrates and Democritus engaged in deep conversation while surrounded by a herd of sheep. Both men exude wisdom and intellect as they hold knives, symbolizing their connection to agriculture and farming. Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, is depicted with his iconic beard and gentle demeanor. His presence radiates compassion and knowledge as he imparts his medical expertise upon his companion. Democritus, on the other hand, represents philosophy at its finest. With an intense gaze fixed on Hippocrates' teachings, he embodies curiosity and intellectual exploration. Together, they embody the harmonious union between science (personified by Hippocrates) and philosophy (personified by Democritus). This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that true progress lies not only in scientific discoveries but also in philosophical contemplation. It encapsulates the timeless pursuit of understanding life's mysteries through both empirical observation (represented by the sheep) and abstract reasoning. Jacques de Gheyn II masterfully brings these historical figures to life through intricate details that invite us to ponder their contributions to humanity's collective knowledge. This print is undoubtedly a testament to their enduring
