Abstract
Considering the influence of artistic style is a key methodological step in the iconodiagnostic process in order to avoid some pitfalls. The two present artworks, depicting Saint Jerome, attributed respectively to the 17th-century Neapolitan school and to Valentin de Boulogne, French painter of the 17th century, highlight how the interplay of light and shadow can enhance and disguise a possible pectus excvatum.
期刊介绍:
This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
