Abstract
In ancient times, important events were commemorated in works of art produced by outstanding painters and sculptors. This custom included medical advancements such as The Anatomic Lesson painted by Rembrandt and the Public Demonstration of Anesthesia with Ether, in Boston, painted by Robert Hinchlay. The advent of inexpensive photographic recording eliminated the need to commission artists to preserve an event for posterity. One of the landmarks of medicine in the twentieth century is craniofacial surgery, developed by Tessier. The personal interest and relationship of the author with a prominent artist presented the opportunity to record in paintings the outstanding contribution of the remarkable French surgeon. A series of 10 canvases inspired by craniofacial surgery are discussed in this article.
