The Doctor as an Artist (2017)

unapi

Charles Bell, Francis Seymour Haden, Jean-Martin Charcot, Paul Richer, Henry Tonks and Harry Lamb were gifted draughtsmen. Some used their skills to illustrate their work, a few abandoned medicine altogether to become artists in their own right. With the exception of Haden few were able to combine an artistic and a medical career. Their medical training and their wartime experiences influenced their artistic portrayal of the wounded. Their significant contribution, however, resides in the way in which they influenced other greater artists through their teaching.
