"The House of a Man Stricken with Venereal Disease" is an engraving created by Flemish artist Philip Galle (1537–1612), based on a design by Italian artist Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet, 1523–1605). This work is part of a series that illustrates various social and moral themes, reflecting the concerns and sensibilities of the late Renaissance period. The engraving depicts the interior of a house where a man is being treated for a venereal disease, a subject that highlights the growing awareness and social impact of sexually transmitted infections in 16th-century Europe.

The scene is rich in detail and symbolism, providing insight into contemporary attitudes towards disease, morality, and healthcare. The central figure, presumably the afflicted man, is shown in a state of suffering, while various other characters, possibly representing medical practitioners and family members, surround him. The inclusion of both domestic and medical elements in the composition offers a glimpse into the period's domestic life and medical practices.

Philip Galle was renowned for his skill as an engraver and printmaker, and his collaboration with Stradano resulted in a body of work that combined Galle's technical expertise with Stradano's narrative and compositional talents. Stradano, who spent a significant part of his career in Florence, was known for his diverse subject matter, ranging from mythological scenes to everyday life, and his works often contained allegorical or didactic messages.

"The House of a Man Stricken with Venereal Disease" serves not only as an artistic endeavor but also as a historical document, reflecting the intersection of art, medicine, and society during the Renaissance. The engraving is an example of how artists of the time engaged with contemporary issues and contributed to the broader cultural discourse through their work.
