Chauliac's Chirurgia
magna, his seminal work on surgery, was complete in 1363 in Avignon. In
seven volumes, it covers anatomy, bloodletting, cauterization, drugs,
anesthetics, wounds, and fractures, ulcers, special diseases, and antidotes,
among other things [4]. His
treatments included the use of plasters. Chauliac also believed that pus from an
infection was required in the healing process.

The painting serves a useful historical purpose in that it shows aspects of everyday European life in the mid-sixteenth century. Clothes are clearly depicted, as are pastimes such as playing cards. Uniquely, the painting shows a common method of execution for sixteenth-century criminals: being lashed to a cartwheel mounted on a vertical pole. Objects such as musical instruments and an early mechanical clock, and scenes including a funeral service provide historians with a deeper understanding of the lifestyle of the 1560s.
