Gout complications, satirical artwork
Gout complications. Satirical artwork titled: The Burden of Wealth. The overweight man being wheeled around in a chair is intended to illustrate the health problems associated with wealth, such as overeating and conditions such as gout. Gout is a metabolic condition where uric acid crystals are deposited in the joints, causing great pain, sometimes leading to infirmity and an inability to walk normally. This artwork, used in the chapter on gout, is from the German book Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin (Caricature and Satire in Medicine, 1921) by the German art historian and physician Eugen Hollander (1867-1932)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical artwork titled "The Burden of Wealth" captures the gout complications associated with excessive riches. Depicting an overweight man being wheeled around in a chair, this illustration aims to shed light on the health problems that often accompany wealth, such as overeating and conditions like gout. Gout is a metabolic disorder where uric acid crystals accumulate in the joints, causing excruciating pain and sometimes rendering individuals unable to walk normally. Taken from Eugen Hollander's renowned book "Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin" published in 1921, this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of opulence. Dr. Hollander, both an art historian and physician, expertly captured societal issues through his illustrations. Set against a historical backdrop in a lush park setting, we see the disabled man accompanied by his loyal butler and pet dog. The scene portrays relaxation within upper-class society while highlighting the physical burden borne by those afflicted with gout. With its monochromatic style reminiscent of 19th-century art history, this thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on the impact of wealth on one's well-being. It symbolizes how even seemingly desirable circumstances can lead to painful consequences when taken to excess. Through caricature and satire, this artwork challenges our perception of privilege while shedding light on medical conditions that affect people across all walks of life.
