Caduceus, artwork C013 / 9987
Caduceus, computer artwork. The caduceus is the traditional symbol of the Greek god Hermes, and features two snakes around a winged staff. It is often confused with the rod of Asclepius medical symbol, which has no wings and only one snake. In their logos, professional medical associations mainly use the rod of Asclepius, while commercial organisations use the caduceus. Confusion over the two symbols arose when the caduceus was adopted as a logo by the Medical Department of the United States Army in 1902

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of Caduceus, a symbol deeply rooted in Greek mythology. The image features a black background that beautifully contrasts with the detailed illustration of this historical emblem. The Caduceus, often mistaken for the rod of Asclepius medical symbol, holds significant symbolism within the medical profession. The twisted and winding design depicts two snakes entwined around a winged staff, representing the Greek god Hermes. Unlike its counterpart, the rod of Asclepius, which only bears one snake and lacks wings, confusion between these symbols arose when the United States Army Medical Department adopted the Caduceus as their logo in 1902. With its coiled serpents and mythical wings, this artwork evokes a sense of healing and mystique. It serves as a reminder of ancient Greek mythology's influence on medicine and highlights how professional medical associations primarily utilize the rod of Asclepius in their logos. LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this mesmerizing piece through their high-quality printing technique. This print is not just an artistic portrayal but also an educational tool that delves into history while showcasing nature's fauna at its finest. Whether displayed in medical institutions or personal collections, this stunning depiction invites viewers to appreciate both artistry and symbolism intertwined within one captivating image.
