Realist Art and Medicine (Part II): Thomas Eakins' 'The Clinical Lesson of Dr. Agnew'
Abstract:In 1889, the renowned American realist painter Thomas Eakins (1844–1916) created the classic work 'The Clinical Lesson of Dr. Agnew' with a medical theme. This painting is 14 years apart from another famous work by Eakins, 'The Clinical Lesson of Dr. Gross'. By comparing these two classic works, we can not only once again feel the expressive power and impact of realist art, but also directly perceive the significant changes that have occurred in Western surgery in terms of knowledge, technology, and humanistic concern over the past decade.
