EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century fresco, titled "The Pharmacy" takes us back in time to the bustling world of a medieval apothecary shop. Painted by an anonymous Italian artist, this masterpiece is housed within the walls of Castello di Issogne in Val d'Aosta, Italy. In this scene, we witness a woman seeking medicine from the pharmacist who stands behind a counter holding a scale. The shelves behind him are adorned with bottles containing potions labeled in intricate Gothic lettering. A diligent apothecary can be seen meticulously recording numbers on a sheet of paper nearby while another person crushes plants in a mortar. The shop's interior is filled with various medical supplies and tools hanging from shelves - sponges, proses, wooden legs, scarves, gloves, and dressings. Each item tells its own story about the care and healing practices of that era. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph beautifully captures the essence of daily life during the Renaissance period. It provides us with a glimpse into not only the artistry but also the commerce and labor involved in running such an establishment. As we admire this painting through Ricciarini's lens, we are transported to an age where health was carefully tended to using ancient remedies and herbal concoctions. This artwork serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage and how far we have come in terms of medical advancements today.
