“Leprosy”
Richard Cooper, 1910.
Lepers were particularly susceptible to bubonic plague and tuberculosis. The patient's weakened immune system would immediately fail. Therefore, people were afraid to meet the leper depicted in the painting, who wanders along the deserted street and rings a bell. The tragedy of the situation is intensified by the figure of a small child, who was left by the roadside by his parents who fled in a hurry.
