Aelius Claudius Galen Manuscript Illumination Medicinal Medicine Pergamum Sleep


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FOUR HUMORS: MELANCHOLIA" takes us back to medieval times, where the understanding of medicine and human emotions was vastly different from today. The image showcases a beautifully detailed manuscript illumination depicting one of the four humors known as Melancholia. According to physician Galen, Melancholia was believed to be one of the bodily fluids that influenced a person's temperament. This particular humor was associated with sadness and melancholy, hence its name. In this artwork, we see men and women lying in bed, seemingly consumed by their thoughts and emotions. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of this ancient belief system through intricate details and vibrant colors. The use of medieval imagery transports us to a time when medical knowledge was intertwined with spirituality and symbolism. This piece serves as a reminder of how our understanding of medicine has evolved over centuries. While we may no longer attribute human emotions solely to bodily fluids, it is fascinating to explore these historical perspectives on health and well-being. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about history, this print offers a glimpse into an era where medicine met mysticism in an attempt to comprehend the complexities of the human mind.
