EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A Visit to Aesculapius" transports us back to ancient Greece, where mythology and medicine intertwine. Created by the talented artist Edward John Poynter in 1875, this pencil and watercolor masterpiece depicts a scene filled with symbolism and emotion. The image showcases a serene garden setting, bathed in soft sunlight filtering through the foliage of an idyllic wooded glade. In the center stands Aesculapius, the Greek god of healing and medicine, portrayed as a wise and noble figure. Surrounding him are women seeking his divine intervention for their ailments or injuries. The composition is beautifully balanced with neoclassical columns framing the scene, adding a touch of grandeur to this mythological encounter. The presence of both male and female figures emphasizes that health concerns affect all genders equally. Poynter's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he captures not only physical pain but also emotional vulnerability on the faces of those seeking assistance from Aesculapius. The nude woman at his feet represents both vulnerability and trust as she exposes her wounded body for healing. Overall, this artwork invites us into a world where gods walk among mortals and offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own relationship with health and well-being. It serves as a reminder that even in times of sickness or injury, there is hope for healing through faith and divine intervention.
