    Charity in the Audience of John the Baptist
    (Brill Academic Publishers, 2018) van Eck, Alexander
    This article draws attention to the frequent presence of women with children among the audience of John the Baptist's sermon as it is depicted in sixteenth- and seventeenth century prints and paintings. Rather than as genre-like additions, it is argued that they were included as allegories of Charity. According to the gospel of Luke, John the Baptist advised those who had two coats to give away one, and people who had an abundance of food to share it with others. In other words, he exhorted people to be charitable. A literal visualization of one of the acts of charity in the Baptist's sermon is seen on a print published by Nicholas de Mathonniere, in which a man gives away a coat to another person in the audience (note 6). The allegorical approach was much more common though. Examples come from Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. In a woodcut by Cranach, three women in the audience are suckling babies (fig. 2); in a painting by Bacchiacca, a woman with three young children frollicking on her lap is positioned prominently in the foreground (note 4); similar groups are visible in Bloemaert's version of the subject in the Rijksmuseum (fig. 1), and in Philips Galle's engraving (fig. 3). A special case is Jacob Backer's Family group with John the Baptist preaching, as it includes a portrait of the mater familias with one bare breast (fig. 4). That again points to an allegorical interpretation, because such a display of nudity in a common portrait would have been deemed improper. Since it concerns a Mennonite family - the artist, who was a Mennonite preacher himself, included a self portrait with his finger raised in warning - this picture is also a reminder that the subject of the Sermon of John the Baptist was not a typical Calvinist subject referring to open air sermons ('hagepreken'), as is often assumed (note 16). In a country like the young Republic, the sermon was an important instrument for all denominations and a suitable subject for decoration on any wall.

    The Impact of Visual Thinking in Medical Education
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2022) Demir, Ayse Banu; Okuyan; van Eck, Alexander; Mura, Gokhan; Gonlugur, Emre; Karaca, Can; Abacioglu, Hakan
    Background Considering medical humanities, medicine and art are two areas that resemble each other at several features. Clinical diagnosis involves the observation, description and interpretation of information of which visual ones take an important one. The skills described are important skills in the field of visual arts, as well. Underlying a good clinical practice; clinical examination and observation skills constitute an important place. Although in several studies, these skills are shown to be improved by analyzing visual art pieces, courses intended to improve visual thinking skills are not that much common in medical faculty curriculums. Materials and methods In this article, we share our opinion about the use of visual thinking in medical education by providing preliminary reflection results of learners from the second year of medical education about the visual thinking course that we have recently started to apply in Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with Faculty of Fine Arts in Izmir University of Economics in order to improve the observational skills of learners. Results Reflection results of the learners support the view that training art-viewing skill is helpful to improve observational and descriptive skills. Conclusions Increasing interdisciplinary programs on visual thinking in medical curriculums have the potential to overcome several professional development challenges in clinics.
