Bust of Hippocrates (460-370 BC), Greek physician considered to be the father of medicine.

He founded a medical school on the Aegean island of Cos, where his ideas on medical conduct & practice were implemented. He advocated a rational approach to medicine, believing that disease was caused by physical phenomenon & not by the interference of the gods. Engraving by P. Pontius after P.P. Rubens. Colorized version of 8C7602.
