EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Girolamo Frascatoro, a renowned Italian physician, poet, and astronomer who lived from 1478 to 1553. His significant contributions to the field of medicine include his groundbreaking theory on the germ theory of disease. However, he is perhaps best remembered for his poetic work in rhyme that vividly described the devastating sexually transmitted infection known as syphilis. The engraving captures Frascatoro's intellectual prowess and multifaceted talents. With an intense gaze and distinguished appearance, he exudes an air of wisdom and curiosity. As a scientist and astronomer, Frascatoro delved into the mysteries of celestial bodies while also exploring the intricacies of human health. His magnum opus, "Syphilis sive morbus Gallicus" (Syphilis or the French Disease), published in 1530, remains an enduring testament to his literary genius. Through eloquent verses and meticulous descriptions, Frascatoro shed light on this venereal disease that plagued Europe during his time. This print not only immortalizes Girolamo Frascatoro but also serves as a reminder of how one individual can make profound contributions across various disciplines. It pays homage to a man whose work continues to shape our understanding of diseases and their origins today.
