EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from ancient Greece, showcasing the art of massage as depicted in The Works of Hippocrates. Created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, this stunning colour lithograph brings to life the therapeutic practices employed by physicians during antiquity. In this illustration, we witness a female Greek masseuse diligently attending to her patient within the confines of a gymnasium. With skilled hands and an air of serenity, she administers the healing power of touch through gentle rubbing and oil application. The male patient lies nude on a bed while receiving this rejuvenating treatment, highlighting the trust placed in these medical practitioners. The scene exudes an aura of tranquility and professionalism as both physician and nurse work together harmoniously to provide relief and cure for ailments. It is evident that Hippocrates' teachings on holistic health are being faithfully followed here, with emphasis placed not only on physical well-being but also mental and emotional balance. This remarkable artwork transports us back in time to witness one aspect of ancient medical practices that still resonate today - the belief in human touch as a powerful tool for healing. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded once again that throughout history, medicine has always been an evolving art form seeking innovative ways to alleviate suffering and restore harmony within our bodies.
