This artwork is part of a larger cycle of frescoes commissioned for the Pellegrinaio, the ward for pilgrims and the sick, in the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, Italy. Domenico di Bartolo, a prominent figure of the Sienese School, was known for his detailed and humanistic approach to religious and social themes, and this fresco is a testament to his skill and vision.
The fresco cycle in the Pellegrinaio was intended to illustrate the charitable activities of the hospital, which was one of the oldest and most important hospitals in medieval Europe.

The scene is rich in detail, portraying a variety of figures including patients, caregivers, and medical practitioners, all engaged in the acts of tending to the ill. This vivid representation not only highlights the medical practices of the time but also emphasizes the humanistic values of empathy and compassion.
Domenico di Bartolo's work is characterized by its realistic depiction of human figures and the careful attention to the architectural setting, which provides a glimpse into the hospital environment of the 15th century. The fresco's composition and use of color demonstrate the artist's mastery of the medium and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.
"Care of the Sick (detail 1)" is an important historical document that offers insights into the social and medical history of the period, as well as the artistic achievements of Domenico di Bartolo. It remains a valuable piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the intersection of art, medicine, and charity in Renaissance Siena.
