"Cauterisation, illustration from Feldtbuch der Wundartzney" is a notable woodcut from the early 16th century, attributed to Hans or Johannes Ulrich Wechtlin, an artist active during the German Renaissance. This illustration is part of a larger surgical manual titled "Feldtbuch der Wundartzney" (Field Book of Surgery), which was authored by the German surgeon Hans von Gersdorff and first published around 1517. The work is significant for its detailed depictions of medical procedures and instruments of the time, providing insight into the practices of Renaissance surgery.

The woodcut in question illustrates the process of cauterization, a medical technique used to burn a part of the body to remove or close off a part of it. The image serves as a visual guide for surgeons, depicting the application of a heated instrument to a patient's limb. The illustration is not only of medical and historical interest but also reflects the artistry and technical skill of the period's woodcut artists.

Wechtlin's work is characterized by its clarity and attention to detail, which was essential for the instructional nature of the manual. The "Feldtbuch der Wundartzney" was one of the first printed surgical handbooks of its time and was widely disseminated, influencing the practice of surgery across Europe. The inclusion of such illustrations was groundbreaking, as it marked a shift towards more practical and visual learning tools in the field of medicine.

The "Cauterisation" woodcut is an important artifact that represents the intersection of art, science, and education during the Renaissance. It not only provides a window into the medical knowledge and techniques of the era but also exemplifies the craftsmanship and aesthetic considerations of Renaissance printmaking.
