Welcoming the Robert Hinckley Painting, The First Operation Under Ether, to UMass Chan Medical School 

Join us in welcoming the arrival of the historically significant Robert Hinckley painting, The First Operation Under Ether. From 1882-1893, Hinckley researched and painted his interpretation of the first successful public demonstration of anesthesia using ether on October 16, 1846 at the Massachusetts General Hospital. This historic and important event is commemorated as the beginning of modern anesthesia. Through the generosity of the Boston Medical Library, this original work of art will be on permanent display in the Lamar Soutter Library.

To attend this speaking event and reception on January 7, 2025 at 11:00am please register here.
