EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Francois-Anne David, depicting Hygieia, the Greek and Roman goddess of health and cleanliness. In this copperplate engraving from 1787, we witness the meticulous attention to detail that David employed in his illustrations based on Roman statues, engraved stones, and medals. Hygieia is portrayed as a symbol of purity and well-being, standing gracefully with her divine presence. As the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine, she embodies healing and represents the importance of maintaining good health. The sculpture captures Hygieia's serene expression and graceful posture beautifully. Her flowing robes cascade elegantly around her figure while emphasizing her role as a goddess associated with cleanliness. The line engravings bring out every intricate detail in this classical masterpiece. This artwork was part of the Museum de Florence collection during its time at Paris in 1787 when it was drawn by David himself. It later became part of the cabinet of curiosities belonging to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. As we gaze upon this stunning print today, we are reminded not only of Hygieia's mythological significance but also appreciate how art can transcend time and continue to inspire awe through its timeless beauty.
