EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copper engraving from the 18th century, depicting the Greek god of healing, Asklepios. The intricate details of this French artwork were inspired by an ancient coin, highlighting the rich history and cultural significance associated with this deity. In the image, Asklepios is portrayed as a majestic figure adorned in a flowing robe and traditional toga. His staff, symbolizing authority and power in medicine, is prominently featured alongside him. With his long beard exuding wisdom and serenity, he holds a caduceus - an emblem often associated with healing and commerce. Asklepios' role as the god of healing resonates strongly within this piece. Revered for his ability to cure ailments and bring about physical well-being, he represents hope in times of illness or injury. The presence of a serpent entwined around his staff further emphasizes his association with medicine. Beyond its artistic value, this enchanting engraving also offers insights into ancient economic systems prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of how healthcare was intertwined with economic prosperity in Hellenic society. Overall, this remarkable artwork captures both the divine essence of Asklepios as well as its historical context within Greek mythology and economy.
