Thomas Eakins
Picture
Portrait of Dr. Samuel D. Gross (The Gross Clinic), Thomas Eakins
This painting was created in 1875 by American realist painter Thomas Eakins. The name of the painting is Portrait of Dr. Samuel D. Gross (The Gross Clinic) and it measures 8 feet by 6.5 feet. (Show students how big this would be by drawing an imaginary frame on the wall.) Dr. Gross was an important surgeon and teacher who believed the body could heal itself. This was a new idea in 1875. At this time, doctors frequently amputated, or cut off, body parts, leaving patients with limited use of limbs and increasing the danger of infection and bleeding from such a dangerous surgery. Amputations often led to death. The surgery depicted in this painting is believed to be the first surgery to heal rather than to amputate a diseased part of the body. Dr. Gross often performed surgeries in a lecture hall in front of medical students as part of their training. The man seated to the doctor’s right, holding a pencil, is thought to be the artist, taking his own notes.
