EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to a temple where Aesculapius, the revered god of health and medicine, tends to the sick. With his staff firmly in hand, he exudes an aura of healing and compassion as he nurses those who lie on mattresses before him. To either side of Aesculapius, his devoted servants also lend their care and expertise to the suffering figures. Together, they form a harmonious tableau of solace and hope within the sacred walls of this temple. The artist behind this remarkable etching is Jacob Folkema (1702-1767), whose skillful craftsmanship brings forth every intricate detail with precision. The delicacy of paper combined with the artistry of etching further enhances the ethereal quality captured in this scene. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be moved by its timeless message: that even in times of illness and despair, there is always room for healing and comfort. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humanity has sought solace in divine intervention when faced with adversity. This print invites us to reflect on our own experiences with sickness and reminds us that amidst pain and suffering lies resilience and strength. May it inspire us all to embrace compassion towards one another during times of need while cherishing our own well-being.
