Led by Dr. Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) and known collectively as the Salp黎ri鑽e School, these \u003ci\u003esavants-artistes \u003c\/i\u003eproduced works that demonstrated an engagement with contemporary artistic discourses and the history of art, even as the artists\/clinicians professed their dedication to absolute objectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring his lifetime, Charcot became internationally famous for his studies of hysteria and hypnosis, establishing himself as a pioneer in modern neurology. However, this book brings to light the often-overlooked contributions of other clinicians, such as Dr. Paul Richer, who created \"scientific artworks\" that merged scientific objectivity with artistic intervention. Challenging conventional interpretations of visual media in medicine, Ruiz-Gez analyzes how these images and objects documented symptoms and neuropathology while defying disciplinary categorization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in extensive archival research, \u003ci\u003ePathology and Visual Culture\u003c\/i\u003e targets an international audience of historians and students of art, visual culture, medicine, and the medical humanities.
