EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Head of Asklepios, the revered Greek God of Healing. The Roman sculpture is a faithful reproduction of an original work by Phyromachos from the 2nd century BC, now housed in The Hermitage collection in St Petersburg. The image captures the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient masterpiece. Carved from stone, every contour and feature on the face is meticulously rendered, reflecting both artistic skill and religious devotion. Asklepios' visage emanates wisdom and serenity, with his full beard and flowing hair adding to his commanding presence. His divine status as a deity dedicated to health and medicine is evident through his powerful gaze that seems to hold profound knowledge. This photograph transports us back to ancient Greece, where healing rituals were intertwined with spirituality. It serves as a reminder of how art played an integral role in expressing religious beliefs during that time period. The Head of Asklepios symbolizes not only physical well-being but also spiritual harmony—a testament to humanity's enduring quest for balance between body and soul throughout history. With its vibrant colors captured flawlessly by the lens, this print brings life to an age-old statue while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
