EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Hippocrates of Cos, an ancient Greek physician who revolutionized the field of medicine. Known as the father of medicine, Hippocrates laid down the fundamental principles that formed a scientific basis for medical practice. This engraving, created in 1866 by Louis Figuier after an antique bust in the Louvre Museum in Paris, beautifully captures his likeness. Hippocrates believed that diseases originated from imbalances within four bodily fluids known as humours: blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. His teachings emphasized the importance of observation and logical reasoning to diagnose and treat ailments effectively. In this image, we see a stoic male figure with a commanding presence. The intricate details carved into this sculpture's features reflect both artistic skill and reverence for Hippocrates' contributions to humanity. As we gaze upon this nineteenth-century print, we are reminded of Hippocrates' enduring legacy as a pioneer in medicine. His groundbreaking ideas continue to shape modern healthcare practices today.
