Infect-Art. Infection in Art.

Disease has been, and continues to be, a source of artistic inspiration across various historical periods and diverse cultures. Numerous examples of works with infectious disease themes can be found in eras as distant as ancient Egypt or classical Greece, and extending to the present day.

Through a selection of a small group of artworks, we will explore the artistic representation of some of the most significant infectious diseases that have plagued humanity throughout its history.

We hope this book will be an enjoyable pastime for curious readers and help them recognize the manifestations of infectious disease depicted by artists in their works throughout history.
