EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of "Aesculapius and Hygeia" a Wedgwood jasperware bas-relief or tablet designed by Camillo Pacetti in 1788. The autotype image, captured by an anonymous English photographer in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into this remarkable piece of art from a private collection. The bas-relief depicts Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine and healing, alongside his daughter Hygeia, who personifies hygiene and good health. Crafted with meticulous detail on Wedgwood's signature jasperware ceramic material, this artwork is a testament to Josiah Wedgwood's mastery as a potter during the Georgian era. With its ornate design and intricate craftsmanship, this bas-relief represents not only British artistry but also European cultural heritage. It symbolizes the fusion of mythology and medical science that has been integral to human history for centuries. As we admire this masterpiece, we are reminded of the importance of physical health and well-being throughout time. From ancient Greece to modern-day healthcare services, Aesculapius' staff remains an enduring symbol synonymous with medicine. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind this work and its historical significance within British culture. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and borders while enriching our understanding of different civilizations across Europe.
