About

The author's tour will showcase the history of medicine through art, ancient debates, patron saints, and ancient recipes. Participants will learn how diseases were explained in different eras, why they turned to Apollo and Hippocrates, how wounds were treated, what remedies were made from plants and minerals, and why cabbage could be considered a medicine. The history of medicine is rarely a dry collection of dates: it includes gods and philosophers, monastery legends, herbs, minerals, bold guesses, and strange recipes that today sound almost like the plot of a historical novel. The author's tour offers a perspective on this topic through works of Western European art and cultural representations from different eras. The conversation will begin with images related to healing. Apollo will appear here not only as the ancient god of light and harmony but also as the patron of healers. Alongside him will emerge saints who were called upon during illnesses, as well as thinkers and doctors whose texts long shaped the understanding of the human body, pain, wounds, and methods of treatment. Entertainment in Yekaterinburg is collected on our website.
