EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tooth Extractor, mid-18th century, Oil on Canvas This evocative oil painting, titled "The Tooth Extractor," dates back to the mid-18th century and is a testament to the medical practices of the time. The scene unfolds within the dimly lit interiors of a Milanese apartment, where a tooth extractor, flanked by two assistants, is in the process of extracting a tooth from a distressed child. The room is filled with a sense of tension and anticipation, as the child's siblings and onlookers watch with a mixture of fear and curiosity. The tooth extractor, dressed in the fashionable attire of the period, is intently focused on his task, his expression a blend of determination and compassion. His assistants, one holding a tray of instruments and the other ready to hand him the next tool, are poised and ready to assist. The child, with tears streaming down her face, clutches the arm of the older sibling for support, her eyes wide with fear. The use of color in this painting is masterful, with the warm tones of the oil canvas creating a sense of intimacy and depth. The muted hues of the interior, combined with the rich, vibrant colors of the subjects' clothing, add to the overall impact of the scene. The horizontal composition of the painting draws the viewer in, inviting them to witness this moment in history and to reflect on the medical practices of the past. This painting is a precious addition to the Brera Pinacoteca in Milan, Italy, and is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical artifacts and the stories they tell. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of people and the medical practices of the mid-18th century.
