EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Aesculapius, the revered hero and god of medicine in ancient Greek mythology. Created by the French School, this piece beautifully captures the essence of this mythological figure. Aesculapius is depicted as a divine being with strong ties to both animals and healing. The intricate details of the engraving bring forth a sense of historical significance and reverence for this deity. As the son of Apollo and either Coronis or Arsinoe (or even Apollo alone), Aesculapius holds great importance in ancient Greek religion and culture. The inclusion of text in Latin adds another layer to this artwork, highlighting its connection to Ovid's Metamorphoses - a renowned collection of Roman poetry that delves into various mythological tales. This inscription serves as a reminder not only of Aesculapius' role but also pays homage to Ovid's contribution to Roman civilization. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the rich tapestry woven by ancient myths, gods, and legends. It invites us to explore our fascination with divinity, history, and humanity's eternal quest for healing knowledge.
