The Galezowski tradition in Paris.

Xavier Galezowski (1832-1907) was born in Poland, received his first MD degree in St. Petersburg, Russia, and a second MD degree in Paris. He established an important ophthalmologic clinic in Paris, which trained many prominent ophthalmologists and treated numerous patients.

Paul-Ferdinand Gachet's unpublished manuscript. Ophthalmia in the armies of Europe.

Paul-Ferdinand Gachet was a close friend and physician of many famous artists who lived in France toward the end of the 19th century. He was van Gogh's last physician, and Vincent painted Gachet's portrait on two occasions. The first of these paintings has become the most expensive painting ever sold at a public auction.
