Caduceus with DNA, artwork C013 / 9990
Caduceus with DNA. Computer artwork of the Caduceus symbol entwined by a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The caduceus is the traditional symbol of the Greek god Hermes, and features two snakes around a winged staff. It is often confused with the rod of Asclepius medical symbol, which has no wings and only one snake. In their logos, professional medical associations mainly use the rod of Asclepius, while commercial organisations use the caduceus. Confusion over the two symbols arose when the caduceus was adopted as a logo by the Medical Department of the United States Army in 1902

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate fusion of ancient mythology and modern science. Entitled "Caduceus with DNA" this computer artwork beautifully captures the essence of two distinct realms colliding in a mesmerizing display. At its core, the image depicts the Caduceus symbol, traditionally associated with Hermes, the Greek god known for his cunning and healing abilities. The symbol features two serpents gracefully entwined around a winged staff. However, what sets this rendition apart is the addition of a single strand of DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid - elegantly weaving through the caduceus. The inclusion of DNA serves as a powerful reminder that even within our most ancient beliefs lies an undeniable connection to scientific progress. It represents our understanding of genetics, molecular structures, and biochemical processes that underpin life itself. While confusion often arises between the Caduceus and its medical counterpart - Asclepius' rod - this artwork sheds light on their differences. Medical associations predominantly utilize Asclepius' rod in their logos due to its historical association with healing practices. In contrast, commercial organizations favor the Caduceus for its symbolism encompassing commerce and negotiation. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are reminded not only of our rich mythological heritage but also how far we have come in unraveling nature's secrets at a molecular level. This print encapsulates both history and progress while igniting curiosity about our genetic makeup and its profound impact on medicine and biology alike.
