Framed Print of X-rays and death, conceptual artwork
X-rays and death, conceptual artwork. This artwork, titled The Physician of the X-rays, by Austrian artist Ivo Saliger (1894-1987), dates from between 1920 and 1940. It shows a radiologist using X-rays to repel Death (left), who is personified as a skeleton wearing a shroud. Lying on the couch is the partially clothed female patient being saved by this diagnostic technique. X-rays were discovered by German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, work for which he received the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physics. Saliger, a contemporary of Adolf Hitler, became professor of art at the Academy of Vienna in 1920. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © LIBRARY OF CONGRESS/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
