EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the Apothecary, 1656" takes us back in time to a bustling chemist shop during the Baroque era. Created by Gerrit Lundens, a renowned Dutch artist of the 17th century, this oil on wood painting is now housed in the esteemed Collection of Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava. The scene depicts an intimate moment within the apothecary store, where patients seek solace and treatment for their ailments. The meticulous attention to detail showcases Lundens' mastery as he portrays doctors, nurses, and pharmacists attending to their patients with care and expertise. In this historical snapshot of medicine's past, we witness how remedies were prepared and dispensed amidst shelves filled with jars containing various herbs and potions. The atmosphere exudes both curiosity and hope as individuals from all walks of life gather here seeking relief from sickness. Through this artwork's fine art imagery, we are transported into a world where medical knowledge was still evolving. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' dedication towards healing others despite limited resources. As we admire this remarkable piece at the Slovak National Gallery today, it sparks contemplation about how far medicine has come since then while also acknowledging its rich history. This print not only captures a specific moment but also invites us to reflect on our own experiences with healthcare throughout time.
