EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures a significant moment in history - Bonaparte's visit to the hospital of Jaffa in March 1799. The French School artist skillfully depicts the scene, showcasing Bonaparte fearlessly reaching out to touch a pestifere, despite the risk of contagion. This act of bravery and compassion showcases his commitment to understanding and combating disease during this tumultuous time. The vibrant colors used in this engraving add depth and intensity to the image, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. It serves as a reminder of the devastating epidemics that plagued societies throughout history. The hospital setting is meticulously detailed, highlighting its importance as a place for healing and care. The presence of doctors attending to patients underscores their crucial role in fighting illness. This artwork also offers insight into Arab civilization during this period, providing glimpses into their medical practices and healthcare systems. Napoleon I, known for his military prowess, reveals another facet of his character through this encounter with sickness. His willingness to confront danger head-on demonstrates his leadership qualities and concern for public health. Leonard de Selva's photograph expertly captures both historical significance and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection today, it serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ongoing battle against disease and our collective resilience in times of crisis.
