EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a votive relief from the archaic age, showcasing Aesculapius and his daughter Hygea engaged in an intriguing discussion. The scene unfolds in the presence of a child and another man, adding depth to this ancient artwork. Located at the National Museum in Athens, Greece, this low relief bas-relief exemplifies Greek art and offers a glimpse into Europe's rich ancient civilization. Dating back to the 5th or 4th century BC, this masterpiece showcases intricate details that have stood the test of time. Intriguingly depicted is Aesculapius, known as the god of healing and medicine in Greek mythology. His divine presence is accentuated by his regal appearance on a throne while engaging with his daughter Hygea. The inclusion of a child and another man adds an element of mystery to their conversation. The artist masterfully portrays various elements such as clothing fashion during that era through drapery details. Additionally, reptiles like snakes are present within the composition, symbolizing Aesculapius' association with healing powers. Captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-30 AD, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also provides valuable insights into Greco-Roman culture. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
