With his distinguished contribution to science, Roentgen was honored with the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. Created by Eugen Hollander, a prominent German art historian and physician, this monochrome illustration from his book Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin (Caricature and Satire in Medicine) published in 1921 captures the essence of Roentgen's significant achievement. In this thought-provoking image, we witness an animated conversation between Roentgen's skeletal figure and another individual within a lecture room setting. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of one man's scientific breakthrough but also its representation of how X-rays have revolutionized medicine as a diagnostic tool. Even today, X-rays are widely used for medical purposes worldwide.
