Paul Zacchias, Italian physician
Paul Zacchias (1584-1659), Italian physician. Born in Rome, Zacchias studied medicine but was also a philosopher, poet and medico-legal scholar. He rose to become personal physician to Pope Innocent X, and advised the Rota Romana, the highest Papal appeal court. His work fundamentally advanced the discipline of medical jurisprudence, with his major work in this area being Quaestiones medico-legales (1557). Lithograph from Galerie medicale (1825-1829), a collection of portraits by Pierre Roch Vigneron (1789-1872)

Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the Galerie medicale collection showcases Paul Zacchias, an eminent Italian physician of the 17th century. Born in Rome, Zacchias was not only a skilled medical practitioner but also a philosopher, poet, and medico-legal scholar. His exceptional talents led him to become the personal physician to Pope Innocent X and an esteemed advisor to the Rota Romana, which served as the highest Papal appeal court. Zacchias made significant contributions to the field of medical jurisprudence, revolutionizing its understanding and practice. His most notable work in this domain is his magnum opus Quaestiones medico-legales (1557), which laid down foundational principles for legal medicine. Through meticulous research and analysis, he bridged the gap between medicine and law with unparalleled expertise. In this monochrome illustration by Pierre Roch Vigneron from 1825-1829, we see Zacchias depicted in a head-and-shoulders portrait that exudes wisdom and authority. The artwork captures his distinguished presence as a man who left an indelible mark on both medical science and philosophy. As we admire this historical print, it serves as a reminder of how individuals like Paul Zacchias shaped our understanding of medicine while transcending their roles as physicians. Their multidimensional contributions continue to inspire generations of scholars seeking knowledge at the intersection of science and law.
