EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture of Asklepios, the Greek God of Medicine and Healing. Created in the 6th century BC, this exquisite artwork was discovered at the Sanctuary of Asklepios in Epidavros, Greece. The image depicts a male figure with a serene expression and gentle hand gestures, symbolizing his divine power to cure ailments and bring health to both humans and animals. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this relief carving. From the intricate folds of clothing to the lifelike representation of horses surrounding Asklepios, it is clear that great skill went into its creation. The vibrant colors used further enhance its visual impact. Asklepios holds significant religious importance in ancient Greek culture as he represents the intersection between religion and science. This artifact serves as a testament to their belief in his healing abilities. The location itself adds historical value to this piece, being situated within Peloponnisos (Peloponnese), an area rich in ancient Greek history and mythology. It stands as a reminder of our ancestors' reverence for deities like Asklepios who played crucial roles in their lives. This photograph by CM Dixon beautifully captures not only the artistic brilliance but also the cultural significance embedded within this ancient relic from Greece's past.
