Abstract
In the current article, two paintings related to the topic of reimplantation from Croatian sacral patrimony are presented. The first one is "The Kiss of Judas," the fresco by Vincent of Kastav (1474) in Beram in Istria--a Gospel scene with Jesus performing reimplantation of the ear to Malchus after it was cut off by Apostle Peter. The second one is an old oil on canvas from the island of Rab, presenting St. Anthony of Padua performing reimplantation of a boy's amputated foot. Although in both cases the primary function of the painting is to convey a moral message, they are interesting from the medical-historical point of view for their view of universal popular imagination and the conception of healing severe wounds during the absence of modern medical knowledge.
