Islamic wall art print of Ibn Sina at his desk in the act of writing, the Canon of Medicine taking shape beneath his hand. Painted in soft watercolour with fine ink detail and no facial features, the study and its manuscripts dissolving into white space at the edges. A scholarly, quietly powerful piece for a medical office, clinic, consulting room or study.
Ibn Sina, known in the West as Avicenna, completed the Canon of Medicine in the early eleventh century: a million-word systematisation of the human body, disease, pharmacology and treatment, drawing on Greek, Indian and his own clinical sources. Translated into Latin in the twelfth century, it remained a primary textbook in European medical schools until the seventeenth, and in some until the eighteenth. He wrote it while serving as a court physician, a government minister and a fugitive from political enemies, often in the same decade. The Canon was not written in comfort. It was written despite everything.
A thoughtful gift for a doctor, medical graduate, nurse or pharmacist. Part of the Riwayah Studio Islamic Golden Age collection: Ibn Sina poster, Avicenna wall art, history of medicine print, Muslim physician art, medical office wall decor.
