Dokter en zuster verzorgen gewonden op het slagveld 1842 - 1900

Wilhelmus Petrus van Geldorp created this drawing depicting a doctor and sister caring for the wounded on the battlefield. The figures of the doctor and sister embody compassion in the face of war. The act of tending to the wounded, seen here, echoes across time. Consider the countless depictions of the Good Samaritan throughout history, where the willingness to offer aid transcends cultural boundaries. The motif of selfless care, ingrained in our collective memory, evokes a potent emotional response, resonating with our innate sense of empathy. This drawing reminds us of the cyclical nature of human suffering and the enduring power of compassion, forever etched in our cultural consciousness.
