arte, epidemias, Peste bubónica, covid-19Resumen
El arte ofrece enfoque único para explorar las complejidades de la experiencia humana, permitiendo análisis de cuestiones médicas desde un punto de vista científico hasta las perspectivas emocionale, cultural y ética. La observación detallada de pinturas puede ayudar en la consolidación semiológica de enfermedades, complementando el modelo de atención en medicina. Este artículo tuvo como objetivo explorar la relación entre arte y epidemias durante el último milenio, centrándose en la peste negra y el COVID-19. La primera fue una de las mayores epidemias de la historia y tuvo profundos impactos en la salud de la sociedad durante el siglo XIV, al igual que el reciente brote de la última. La selección de literatura se basó en descriptores y filtros de búsqueda aplicados a bases de datos electrónicas de dominio público con respaldo científico. Siguiendo criterios de inclusión y exclusión y filtros elegidos para este estudio, se seleccionaron 20 publicaciones disponibles. Además, se eligieron dos pinturas compatibles con las publicaciones encontradas. En esta revisión narrativa buscamos reflexionar sobre la importancia del arte en la medicina y cómo la observación de pinturas puede ayudar en la enseñanza médica. Adicionalmente, se destacó la relevancia de considerar aspectos culturales y biológicos y análisis semiológicos de las diferentes visiones sobre las epidemias a lo largo de la historia. Se espera que contribuya a la discusión sobre la relación entre el arte y la medicina y cómo se puede utilizar el arte para mejorar la enseñanza médica y la comprensión de las epidemias.
