EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "The Physician as a Devil" we are transported back to the year 1609, where Johann Gelle, Egbert van Panderen, and Hendrick Goltzius collaborated to create a thought-provoking piece of art. The image depicts a human-shaped devil in the guise of a physician, surrounded by various medical tools and laboratory equipment. This composition raises questions about the role of doctors and their motivations during that time period. The devilish figure symbolizes greed and is often associated with money-hungry individuals who prioritize financial gain over patient care. It challenges our perception of physicians as healers by suggesting that some may have been driven more by monetary rewards than genuine concern for their patients' well-being. The intricate details within the print showcase the artist's skillful craftsmanship. Latin, German, and Dutch signatures add authenticity to this historical artwork while emphasizing its significance across different cultures. "The Physician as a Devil" serves as a reminder of how medicine has evolved throughout history. It prompts us to reflect on past practices while appreciating advancements in scientific research and medical ethics today. Quint Lox's inclusion in the caption acknowledges his contribution in preserving this valuable piece from Liszt Collection for future generations to admire and contemplate upon its meaning.
