EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of profound discovery. The image depicts Erasistratus of Ceos, a renowned physician from 3 BC, as he unravels the hidden love between Antiochus and Stratoniche. Painted by Benjamin West (1738-1820), this masterpiece captures the essence of human emotions with remarkable precision. Erasistratus stands at the center of attention, his face illuminated with an expression of revelation. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate beyond mere physical ailments, delving into the depths of human hearts. With his keen intellect and astute observation skills, he has uncovered a secret that could change lives forever. Antiochus and Stratoniche stand on either side of Erasistratus, their faces filled with a mix of surprise and vulnerability. Their forbidden love is laid bare before them - an intimate connection that had been concealed beneath layers of societal expectations and obligations. The composition exudes both drama and tenderness through its expert use of light and shadow. The soft hues create an ethereal atmosphere around the characters while emphasizing their emotional turmoil. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even in ancient times, love was capable of defying conventions and transcending boundaries. It invites us to reflect upon our own experiences with matters of the heart - those clandestine passions that often remain concealed until someone like Erasistratus unveils them for all to see.
