An admirable treatment of the subject
By Ralph Blumenau on May 21, 2013
Format: Paperback
This book is part of a useful series of, at present, sixteen attractively produced volumes published by the J. Paul Getty Museum, with other titles like "Music in Art", "Gardens in Art" etc. The title of this volume is slightly misleading: a more accurate title would have been "Illness and Medicine in Art", for many illustrations deal with diseases and disabilities without any reference to medical treatment (and a small number seem to me to have no connection with either, e.g. The Fall of Icarus). However, there are plenty of images about treatment, from medieval times to the present, and a good many of them are by artists who are not at all well-known. The text with the images refers to the illness and the treatment, about which we can learn a lot, and also often to the technical means used by an artist to highlight certain parts of the picture. The images are small, but clear, and the colour is excellent. The print is necessarily very small and will be a strain on some eyes.

deceptive title
By ferrogo on September 1, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Only the best known and studied paintings are thoroughly analyzed. Many repetitive examples of small things. I was dissapointed by not finding more examples of different ilnesses that we know there should be thousands of examples in paintings and sculptures all over the world. the medicine and science are neglected in the explanations.

A picture is worth a thousand words
By Floradora on May 17, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This very interesting book uses works of art to illustrate themes in medicine such as disease, suffering and the physician. It is useful for thinking about or teaching humanities and medicine, narrative medicine and the history of medicine. I have used it as a source book for teaching medical students and residents and find that it encourages discussion by offering vivid examples of what can be abstract concepts.

Wealth of images
By Kristin A Baldeschwiler on June 15, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The wealth of images contained herein is well organized and widely representative of cultures and time periods. I recommend it as an introduction to the topic. Also see Rousselot's older work on the topic.
