![]() ![]() Or take HIV/AIDS, it is estimated that since the beginning of the epidemic in 1980s 75 million people have been infected with the HIV virus and about 32 million people have died of it. There is no cure or vaccine for it yet, however antiretroviral treatments can slow the course of the disease and lead to a near-normal life expectancy. 100 million! And it happened only one hundred years ago. The death toll is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million. This amounts to 27% of the world population at the time. The 1918 an influenza pandemic known as Spanish flu (present from January 1918 to December 1920) infected 500 million people around the world. It resulted in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. The medieval Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history. I know it’s not comforting under current circumstances but actually, when you think about it, untreatable plagues were a regular part of human life for centuries. I do the same with the mask of a plague doctor, it's simple, I do hatching by eye, I guess I put shadows on my eyes that the picture does not look just black.Īnd now the picture is ready, it's pretty simple, but still it took a little effort to do this.As the coronavirus is spreading around the globe we want to show you how artists depicted plague in art in times when plagues were really deadly. I put a pen on the contour, and I just start to shade the crow, and then continue the same way. Īs always, I start drawing with a pencil sketch, it's very simple, I found a similar mask of a plague doctor on the Internet, and just drew something similar, added my details, it's crows, with the word "pain", because in those times, people moved very a lot of pain and suffering, so I think this word is the most suitable for this gloomy sketch. Later, however, it turned out that the rats were mostly rats, and it was not worth it to destroy the cats, but. Also, the wand helped to drive away particularly annoying patients.It was believed that these actions, coupled with the destruction of unclean creatures - cats, should prevent the spread of the "spirit of the plague", which, it was believed, only spread through the air. ![]() As medical measures, burns were burned with red-hot iron, burning corpses and plagued houses, driving roundabouts around the ashes and even putting frogs on buboes. Then they took off their clothes to open the buboes. If it still moved, then the patient was more likely alive. The hat (like the shoulder straps of the military) was a sign of the doctor's distinction.From the inventory, the doctor had a pointed piece of iron or wand, which he could poke the body. The Doctor's cloak was soaked with wax or camphor, so he was not co-mated with fleas who preferred the smell of unwashed bodies. Since the streets wildly stank both alive and not very people, the "beak" crammed with strongly smelling herbs, plus special sponges infused with incense and placed in the nose and ears, after which the doctor gasped and died. At the same time, the long "beak" did not give the doctor, who was bending over the body of the patient during the examination (or his corpse at the autopsy), to approach too closely the direct source of the airborne infection. Accordingly, dressed like a bird doctor took the infection from the patient to himself.The doctor breathed through the material "beak", for this "beak" actually did - to increase the surface filtration. The image of the costume was taken on the basis of one of the variants of the reason for what is happening - the belief that the disease was carried by birds. Plague doctor - actually a doctor born in the Middle Ages, differing in its infernal appearance. For those who do not know, I'll tell you who it is. It's something awesome, it's a plague doctor, it looks scary.I drew his handles with liners, a conventional shroud.It was not difficult. ![]() Hello! I want to show you my new drawing. ![]()
