Beware The Vaccine - A Grotesque Tale from the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bygone era, circa 1800, where two men astride an ox and an ass are seen chasing after a group of terrified children. What makes this scene even more chilling is the enormous syringe they wield, as if in pursuit of these innocent youngsters. Behind them lies a carriage housing a grotesque green scaly monster, adding an air of mystery and fear. Originally published in an 18th century French caricature, this artwork captures the historical context surrounding inoculation and vaccination for disease prevention and treatment. It serves as a reminder of how medical practices have evolved over time. The composition itself is visually striking; set against a landscape backdrop with vibrant colors that bring life to every element within the frame. The male and female figures on their unconventional mode of transportation draw attention immediately while evoking curiosity about their intentions. Intriguingly mythical creatures also make an appearance here – the green scaly monster lurking in the carriage adds another layer to this enigmatic narrative. Its presence suggests that there may be more at play than meets the eye. Displayed proudly at Fine Art Storehouse, this print invites viewers to reflect upon our past perceptions of medicine and its impact on society. It sparks conversations about progress made since then while reminding us to approach advancements with caution and critical thinking.
