EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Seizing the vessel and drinking greedily" takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in a vivid illustration from The Works of Hippocrates. Created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, this color lithograph showcases a powerful scene that captures both the desperation and hope found within the realm of medicine. In this image, we witness a sickbed where a female patient lies weakly while her physician attends to her needs. With an air of urgency, she seizes a vessel filled with what appears to be medicinal drink, consuming it greedily in search of relief from her ailment. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of her thirst for healing as she clings onto every drop. The setting is reminiscent of ancient Greece, evoking images of antiquity and invoking thoughts about the origins of medical practices. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, physicians were dedicated to curing illnesses and improving their patients' health. This artwork not only depicts an individual's struggle with sickness but also highlights the significance placed on finding remedies during those times. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our own modern advancements in medicine while appreciating how far we have come since then. As part of Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, this remarkable print transports us into history's medical scene—a testament to human resilience and our eternal quest for wellness.
