“…It is said that he suddenly developed strabismus one night after waking up due to an extremely loud and suspect noise that led to the appearance of esotropia in the right eye. Many of his works feature characters with strange or unusual facial features, aspect which is more evident in his caricature drawings [ 3 ].…”

This article represents an engagement between ophthalmology, culture, art, and knowledge. The paper reviews numerous ophthalmic pathologies that affected some of the most famous artists from all the time. The style of a painting can be created on purpose by the artist, but it can also be affected by the visual acuity. The most significant ocular diseases that might affect visual acuity and style of painting are represented by strabismus, refractive errors, cataract, retinal diseases, color vision deficiency and ocular trauma. During the time, various styles of paintings could be encountered and, very often, we wondered whether the style is influenced by the visual acuity of the artists or visual acuity does not affect at all the styles. The purpose of this study was to prove how ocular pathologies might have affected art creation during the past centuries.

“…1) occur indeed in its source plants (Pinus maritima L. for French turpentine and mainly P. palustris Mill for American turpentine). 1 The existence of racemic natural products, that is of an equimolar mixture of both enantiomers in a single producer, was actually rst reported with compounds better referred to as racemized rather than racemic, since loss of enantiomeric purity had occurred during extraction and/or isolation, as in paratartaric (racemic) acid ((AE)-2) 2 and atropine ((AE)-3), 3 but truly racemic natural products were then shown to exist, and certain biogenetic pathways are now recognized to be signicantly associated to the generation of racemic natural products. 4 More puzzling is the occurrence of scalemic (enantiomerically enriched) natural products, not only simple monoterpenes like a-pinene (1), known to occur as (+)-, (−)-, (±)-a-pinene as well as in various ratios of its enantiomers, 5 but also more complex and polycyclic compounds like the meroterpene cis-D 9 -tetrahydrocannabinol (4) 6 and the alkaloid cephalotaxine (5).…”
