L'Art dentaire a travers la peinture (French Edition)

This volume highlights the dentist and his world, as rendered in painting, drawing and engraving throughout the centuries. Toothache have always been a painful part of life. And so have dentists and their diverse ancestry of barbers and charlatans. As a result, a surprising number of works of art represent dental surgeons and their patients. Beyond the double viewpoint of art historian and dentist, a vast resource of paintings, drawings and engravings of quality emerge from the 16th to 20th centuries.
