Morghen, a master of the burin, captures the sculptural quality of the original antique ditychon with precision. The composition is divided into two vertical panels, each framed by decorative borders featuring garlands and architectural motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the left, Aesculapius stands with his characteristic staff entwined by a serpent, accompanied by a small figure holding a tablet. On the right, Hygieia is shown feeding a serpent from a patera, with a small putto at her side. The figures are rendered with a focus on anatomical clarity and drapery, reflecting the Neoclassical interest in the aesthetic ideals of the ancient world. The shading techniques employed by Morghen create a sense of depth, mimicking the relief of carved stone or ivory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the figures, the Latin inscription identifies the subjects and provides context regarding the provenance of the original object, which was held in the collection of Count Michael von Witzay. The print demonstrates the technical skill of Morghen, who was highly regarded for his ability to translate paintings and sculptures into the medium of engraving. His work often served to document and disseminate the appearance of classical antiquities to a wider audience of scholars and collectors. The clean lines and balanced proportions of this piece reflect the disciplined approach of the period, where the study of classical form was central to artistic practice. This print remains a fine example of the intersection between archaeological documentation and the refined craft of the master engraver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sibylla-erythraea-domenico-cunego\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSibylla Erythraea - Domenico Cunego — Domenico Cunego\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-francois-christophe-kellermann-ambroise-tardieu\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortret van François Christophe Kellermann - Ambroise Tardieu — Ambroise Tardieu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Raphael Morghen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502273990991,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502306824527,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58502306857295,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502306890063,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502306922831,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502306955599,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502306988367,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502307021135,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502307053903,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58502307086671,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58502307119439,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58502307152207,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Aesculapius-and-Hygieia_Poster_CompositorV1_1786423084798.jpg?v=1787014432","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/aesculapius-and-hygieia-raphael-morghen","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
