Saint Luke paints the Virgin & Child. “The figure of Saint Luke, physician and painter, was chosen to represent the idea of healing as a work of renewal and creativity.” - Helen Whittaker
“The celebrated medical and religious figures are, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (pioneer of women's medicine), Alexander Fleming (discoverer of penicillin), Saint Basil (founder of the first Christian hospital) and abbess Hildegard of Bingen (authoress of a treatise on natural medicine and healing, and a significant creative artist).” - Helen Whittaker.
