A lecture by Duncan Geddes
Conception, birth, adultery, illness, death and dreaming
1300-1600
Duncan Geddes
Professor of Medicine
Imperial College London
We spend a third of our life in bed. Many of the most important events in our life happen when we are lying down and only some of them are recorded in art or literature.
Bed-scenes in medieval and renaissance paintings reveal attitudes at a time when religion and spirituality were far more important than biology or medicine.
