This art work in a large canvas of the hospital scene of the early nineteen hundreds at the silver gate of the Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore is most elegant and almost three dimensional!
When I talked to the artist about it she described to me on her inspiration and motivation for painting this.
She is a visual artist by profession and was touched by the photograph of this sight. Dr. Ida Scudder, the founder of the hospital who was spotted in the photograph is her favourite role model!
The picture came alive with a new meaning when the artist described her mission for painting this- to tell the visitors the story of aunt Ida! One lady doctor through her dedication created a legendary hospital! Almost eight thousand patients come to the hospital hospital in a single day now and about 2750 patients are looked after as in-patients each day!
