Wound Man, 1485

Wound Man is an illustration which first appeared in European surgical texts in the Middle Ages. The wound man laid out schematically the various wounds a person might suffer in battle or in accidents, often with surrounding or accompanying text stating treatments for the various injuries. Wound man was used often in surgical texts throughout the 16th century and even into the 17th century. Despite these injuries the wound man is still depicted as standing defiantly alive. The purpose of wound man is not to appear as a threatening figure or to make the viewer fearful of his injuries, but rather reveal potential cures and medical treatments available at the time. Wound man has since become a recognizable figure in popular culture. Appeared in Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, 1485.
