EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wet with cerate made with rose oil" takes us back in time to the ancient world of Hippocrates. The illustration, created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, showcases a female figure delicately applying a soothing ointment on her skin. With a hand mirror in one hand and a jar of cerate in the other, she appears deeply engrossed in this age-old beauty ritual. The scene exudes an aura of tranquility and healing as we witness this intimate moment of self-care. The use of rose oil adds an element of luxury and elegance to the treatment, highlighting its importance even centuries ago. This depiction not only serves as a testament to the timeless pursuit of beauty but also offers insight into ancient medical practices. The nude figure symbolizes vulnerability and purity while emphasizing the connection between physical well-being and inner harmony. It reminds us that caring for our bodies is essential for overall health. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from The Works of Hippocrates, we are transported to ancient Greece, where patients sought remedies for various ailments. Through this image, we can almost feel the therapeutic properties of cerate seeping into our own skin, leaving us refreshed and rejuvenated. This photograph captures both artistry and history within its frame—a true treasure from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection that invites contemplation on our timeless quest for wellness and self-care.
