EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Foot Operation" we are transported to the interior of a surgical room where an experienced surgeon carefully examines the foot of an elderly man. The scene is filled with intriguing details that add depth and curiosity to the composition. On the right side, we notice a metal jug and a shaving board placed on the floor, perhaps indicating their use in preparing for or cleaning up after the operation. On the left, our attention is drawn to another individual who appears to have undergone a peculiar procedure involving his head, as there is a boulder-shaped object removed from it. A woman stands beside him, her presence suggesting support or companionship during this medical journey. In the foreground lies an open book adorned with a skull, symbolizing knowledge and mortality intertwined. Behind it, against a backdrop of saints depicted in statue form within a cupboard, we get glimpses into religious devotion and spiritual solace sought by both patients and medical practitioners alike. This thought-provoking artwork was created by Pieter Jansz. Quast between 1630 and 1647 using panel as his canvas and oil paint as his medium. Its dimensions measure approximately 30 cm in height, 41 cm in width, and 6.5 cm in depth
