EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling moment of medical history - an apoplexy attack. The image, created by the French School in the late 19th century, was originally intended for Max Villemer's novel "Gogosse". It vividly depicts the sudden cessation of brain activity caused by a disruption in blood circulation within the brain. The engraving showcases intricate details that highlight both the fragility and complexity of human health. The artist, Stefano Bianchetti, masterfully portrays the harrowing effects of this condition on an individual's life. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, he brings to life the somber reality faced by those afflicted with apoplexy. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since then. Apoplexy is now better understood and managed thanks to advancements in healthcare. However, it also serves as a poignant reminder that even today, our lives can be unexpectedly altered by unforeseen health challenges. This thought-provoking print not only speaks to our fascination with medical history but also prompts us to reflect on our own mortality. It invites us into a world where literature meets artistry and encourages contemplation about life's fragile nature. Displayed within private collections around the world, this remarkable piece from Stefano Bianchetti continues to captivate viewers with its evocative depiction of apoplexy - forever etching itself into both artistic and medical realms alike.
