EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Gods of Healing, a mesmerizing depiction of Asclepius and his son Telesphorus. Asclepius, also known as Aesculapius, is an ancient Greek god revered for his association with medicine. The image beautifully captures him holding the iconic snake-entwined staff that has become synonymous with the medical profession. The statue originates from the Palazzo Massimo alle Colonne (or alle Valle) in Rome and was skillfully drawn and engraved by Nicolas Dorigny. The attention to detail in this sculpture is truly remarkable, highlighting every intricate feature of these mythical figures. On the left stands Telesphorus, a hooded dwarf who presides over convalescence. His presence adds an intriguing element to the composition, symbolizing healing during recovery periods. Together, father and son represent different aspects of healing: Asclepius embodies expertise in medicine while Telesphorus personifies rejuvenation after illness or injury. This photograph transports viewers back to circa 1700 when this magnificent artwork was created. It serves as a testament to both Greek and Roman mythology's enduring influence on art throughout history. Whether you are captivated by ancient legends or appreciate fine craftsmanship, this print offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human imagination and our eternal quest for healing knowledge.
