EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of the anatomical theater Collegium Churgical in Amsterdam. The image showcases an intricately designed interior, adorned with statues and filled with stands and a cutting table. On both sides of the room, we find niches housing remarkable sculptures. To the left stands the mighty god Apollo, depicted with his iconic bow and arrow as well as a lyre symbolizing music and poetry. On the right side rests an enigmatic male figure - possibly a saint or philosopher - holding palm leaves and clutching the caduceus, Mercury's wand entwined by two serpents; this is also recognized as an attribute of surgeons. The dissecting room within this theatrum anatomicum holds great historical significance, serving as a hub for medical education during that era. It was here that students would gather to witness dissections conducted by skilled practitioners. Barent de Bakker is credited on this object from 1780 which measures 212 mm in height and 332 mm in width. This particular print captures not only architectural beauty but also tells a story through its representation of Apollo (Phoebus) and Mercury's caduceus. As we admire this piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate how it offers us insight into both artistry and scientific exploration intertwined within one captivating frame.
