“…The results reinforce the significance of knowledge in perceiving artwork, the expectations of the viewers, and their cultural capital and aesthetic experience. These factors can have a subtle impact on the perception of an artwork, but they can also take an extreme form, such as in the case of Stendhal syndrome, a clinical phenomenon in which the presence of an antique artwork or architecture causes symptoms such as chest pains, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, and even hallucinations (Nicholson, Pariante, and McLoughlin 2009; Palacios-Sánchez et al 2018 [27,28]). In this research by Nicholson et al, information about a disorder of the artist, because of the socio-cultural context, had a relevant impact on the emotional reactions of research participants.…”

Art reception is a complex process influenced by many factors, both internal and external. A review of the literature shows that knowledge about the artist, including their mental health, has an impact on the general assessment of their artwork. The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between knowledge about the artist’s mental illness and the perception of the artwork. We focused on the subjective emotional experience and general assessment of ten specific pictures painted by patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The research followed four cohorts (two groups divided into two subgroups—art experts and laypeople) of students for over a month. The results revealed significant differences between the two general groups as well as between the ‘expert’ and ‘laypeople’ groups. The findings showed that non-aesthetic categories (e.g., knowledge about the mental illness of an artist) were related to artwork perception and support a holistic and dynamic approach to aesthetic emotions.

“…The symptoms of this syndrome are temporary dissociation and disorientation. 45 The Paris syndrome affects mood. It is best characterized as a serious disenchantment that springs from the contrast between the unrealistic expectations and anticipations that precede a trip to an idealized destination and its less-than-perfect reality.…”

Introduction: The medical literature has identified a variety of health risks associated with travel. Risks depend on the susceptibility of the traveler, the specifics of the destination, the mode of transport, and on chance events. Ill-prepared travelers who underestimate travel risks may encounter a variety of health problems. In order to eventually increase the capability of travel risk prediction, the current study aimed to ascertain travel intent in China, a country traditionally difficult to penetrate through online survey. Methods: This pilot survey study used a reliable, anonymous, online survey method to determine the feasibility of obtaining a sufficient response in China to enable travel risk prediction. Results: The results are encouraging in that seven and a half thousand individuals in China responded over the course of one month. Most responders were from urban centers. Three to eleven percent of the respondents were over age 55 and planning to travel to potentially hazardous destinations. Conclusion: The combination of older age and geographic risk increases the chance of ill health during travel. Knowing who is planning to travel, where they are from, and where, when, and how they are planning to arrive at their destination opens a corridor to effective preventive public health programming and educational initiatives.

Stendhal was born in Grenoble in 1783 and died of a stroke that was preceded several months before by transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), manifested as impaired speech.…”

Aphasia is a frequent and devastating stroke complication that does not spare even great writers. In these cases, not only one of the highest cognitive functions is suddenly lost but also the act of bringing beauty into the world. Herein, we discuss the case of three writers who had to abandon their art compulsorily due to a cerebrovascular disease: Charles Baudelaire, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Stendhal. They were magnificent writers, united by excellence in literature and an inevitable destiny that restricted their art to just a few words. They are also examples of the proximity of Neurology to Art, History, and Literature.
