The Gross Clinic
- Thomas Eakins 1897
I've always loved art and this painting fascinates me! These guys are operating on a boy’s leg… They are all wearing black suites, without surgical cloves (are you kidding me).
This is how they operated in the 1800’s – no wonder so many people died of infections…
At this hour efforts are being made to keep this masterpiece at The Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is for sale at the price of $68 million
If you find this interesting go read the 99% I did not tell you about Thomas Eakins’s The Gross Clinic.
