Important work within the oeuvre of Jaap Hillenius, this oil on canvas from 1968.
Following the first successful heart transplant, performed by the South African Dr. Christiaan Barnard in December 1967, Jaap Hillenius made this interesting canvas. Inspired by this important event in the medical world.
The whole is in neat condition.
Barnard was born the son of a Dutch Reformed minister. One of his brothers died at a young age from a heart defect. Christiaan studied medicine in Cape Town and initially became a general practitioner. However, in 1956 he began his specialization as a surgeon in Minnesota. He then returned to South Africa in 1958 to develop cardiac surgery. He became world famous when he was the first to perform a successful human-to-human heart transplant at the Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town on December 3, 1967. On December 3, 1967, 55-year-old Louis Washkansky received the heart of Denise Darvall, who died in a car accident. Eighteen days after the operation he died of pneumonia. A second heart transplant, a month later by the same team, was more successful: 50-year-old dentist Philip Blaiberg had the heart of Clive Haupt, a young man who had died of a cerebral hemorrhage, implanted. Blaiberg survived for 19 months after the operation, but ultimately died as a result of a chronic rejection process.
Groote Schuur Hospital In 1968, more than 100 heart transplants were performed worldwide. After that, the number of transplants was at a low level for a while due to the short average survival time, until better medicines made it possible to better control the rejection problem.
Barnard remained a surgeon at the Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town until 1983, where he also became director of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Cape Town. He suffered from rheumatism in his hands, which made him no longer able to operate. He then founded a clinic on the Greek island of Kos.
His autobiography One Life was published in 1969. With the author Siegfried Stander he wrote The Unwanted (1974) and In the Night Season (1977). The Donor (1996) is a thriller about the dangers of genetic engineering. (source Wikipedia)
