EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable rendering of an ancient Roman hospital, which interestingly portrays a medieval setting. Created as a manuscript illumination in the 13th century for the Cantigas of Alfonso X, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the medical practices and care provided during that time period in Spain. The image depicts an interior scene filled with skilled doctors, nurses, and patients. The attention to detail is evident as we observe a doctor tending to a patient's needs while another nurse feeds them nourishing food. The presence of beds indicates that this hospital was equipped to accommodate multiple individuals seeking medical assistance. What makes this portrayal unique is its fusion of elements from both ancient Rome and medieval times. It serves as a testament to the evolving nature of healthcare throughout history. This manuscript illumination not only captures the physical aspects but also conveys compassion and empathy towards those in need. Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection has done justice by preserving this significant piece of artistry through their print reproduction. As we delve into this image, we are transported back centuries ago, gaining insight into how medicine was practiced in Spain during the 13th century.
