caption_attribution_description: This print reproduces a famous painting which was exhibited during the World Fair, and which represents the famous physician Charcot giving a lecture on hysteria. Charcot was a very renowned professor, and specialized in mental diseases and hysteria in particular. He taught the young Sigmund Freud, among many others. In this image the hysterical woman is fainting in the arms of Charcot's colleague, while the professor, standing next to her, is giving his lecture.
context_page_description: A Clinical Lesson at the Salpêtrière is an 1887 group tableau portrait painted by the history and genre artist André Brouillet. The painting, one of the best-known in the history of medicine, shows the neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot giving a clinical demonstration to a group of postgraduate students. Many of his students are identifiable; one is Georges Gilles de la Tourette, the physician who described Tourette syndrome.
  It hangs in a corridor of the Descartes University in Paris.
