EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a remarkable piece of Neo-Attic art from the 1st century BC, depicting the mythological character Telephus being treated by a skilled surgeon. The relief, housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy, showcases intricate carving and attention to detail that transports viewers back to ancient Roman times. In this scene, we witness Telephus lying nude on an operating table while a determined surgeon attends to his injuries. The composition exudes both vulnerability and strength as the surgeon delicately tends to his patient's wounds. This artwork serves as a testament to the advanced medical knowledge and care provided during antiquity. The relief not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also offers insight into Greek mythology and its influence on Roman culture. It is fascinating how these ancient civilizations intertwined their beliefs with everyday life. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful capture of this masterpiece allows us to appreciate the beauty and significance of historical art forms. Through her lens, we are transported back in time, gaining a deeper understanding of human anatomy, healthcare practices, and artistic expression during this period.
