1958ref. 115611958. Hippocrates ca. 460 - 370 BCE. High-relief portrait plaque in synthetic stone by Doris Appel 1904-95 signed in the medium by the sculptor. N.p. n.d. ca. 1958. 345 x 265 mm. Crack in the back of the plaque extending across the bottom and up the left side but sound. Very good. Appel a student of the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the School of Art of Boston University confined her work to the interpretation of medical history. Medical historian Arturo Castiglione characterized her work as "an important art contribution unique in its kind in the history of medicine." Examples of Appel's work are found in many of the greatest medical libraries and medical centers in the world. The Hippocrates plaque is made of an off-white permanent synthetic stone and was hand-finished by the artist. We purchased the last few examples of Appel's portrait plaques forty years ago from the artist herself and were advised then that the molds had been destroyed. . unknown books
