EDITORS COMMENTS
This and somewhat disturbing lithograph, titled "Eclosion de larves de mouches dans les cavites et sous la peau du visage" showcases the grotesque reality of a medical condition. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this print depicts the hatching of fly larvae within the cavities and beneath the skin of a human face. Originally intended as an illustration for J Rengade's book Les Grands Maux et Les Grands Remedes, this artwork delves into the realm of diseases and their treatments. The image serves as a stark reminder of the perils faced by individuals afflicted with such illnesses. The vivid colors used in this lithograph emphasize both the repulsive nature of flies' eggs developing under one's skin and highlight their impact on human health. The intricate details bring out every wrinkle, pore, and blemish on the face, intensifying its unsettling effect. While undoubtedly shocking to behold, this print sheds light on historical medical practices that aimed to address these grotesque conditions. It serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing battle against diseases throughout history. Now part of a private collection, this thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to contemplate not only our vulnerability but also our resilience when confronted with illness.
