A renowned neurosurgeon and pioneer of neurosurgery, Dr Alfonso Asenjo (1906-1980) was a Chilean physician who received training in both the United States and Germany. He assumed the role of the inaugural director of the Institute of Neurosurgery and Brain Research in Chile in 1953, subsequently renamed the Dr Alfonso Asenjo Institute of Neurosurgery. In 1973, he was awarded the National Science Prize of Chile. In 1964, during the same year his seminal neurosurgery textbook was translated into Chinese, Dr Asenjo acquired the present painting during a visit to China. The painting has since remained in the family.
