This print showcases a remarkable statuette of the God Asklepios, dating back to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD. Carved from Pentelic marble, this full-length statue was discovered in the sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus. The inscription on its base reveals that it was dedicated to the god by Ploutarchos, an Athenian priest of Dionysus and Asklepios. The statuette exudes an air of divine power and grace as it stands tall in all its ancient glory. Its front view allows us to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously carved by skilled hands centuries ago. As we gaze upon this fine art sculpture, we are transported back in time to Ancient Greece, where medicine and healing were deeply intertwined with spirituality.

This vertical representation captures his commanding presence and serves as a testament to the reverence bestowed upon him by worshippers seeking solace from ailments. Displayed indoors without any human presence around it adds an aura of mystique to this photograph. It reminds us that despite being separated by countless years, we can still connect with our ancestors through their artistic creations. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us into a world where gods walked among mortals and faith held immense power over society's well-being.
