EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Statue of Esculape" a masterpiece from the 2nd century. Crafted in marble by the renowned Greek sculptor Timotheus, this Roman god of medicine is an embodiment of divine healing and wisdom. Currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, it stands as a testament to ancient artistry and mythology. The statue's intricate details and lifelike representation captivate viewers with its ethereal beauty. Asclepius, also known as Esculape, is depicted with masculine grace and serenity. The sculpture exudes a sense of power and tranquility that embodies his role as a deity. With strong ties to ancient Greece, this mythological figure holds significant cultural importance. In Greek mythology, Asclepius was revered for his ability to heal both physical ailments and spiritual wounds. This statue serves as a reminder of mankind's fascination with divinity throughout history. Notably, the inclusion of snakes adds another layer of symbolism to this artwork. Snakes were often associated with healing rituals during ancient times due to their ability to shed their skin—a metaphor for renewal and rebirth. Frank Buffetrille skillfully captures every nuance through his lens, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of this remarkable piece from antiquity. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence of Roman artistry while contemplating humanity's eternal quest for knowledge and well-being.
