Totentanz (1791/engraving) - Daniel Chodowiecki

[defenestratedcowloftelesphorus]

For Asklepia, a lovely print of Asclepius defending a patient by removing Death from a tent:

by Daniel Chodowiecki, 1792

reminds me of this quote from Hymn 4 to Asclepius, Hygieia, and Telesphorus:

“Paian of the uncut hair (i.e. Asklepios) is cheerful because he has you as a new shoot, Telesphoros, around whom Doom comes to a standstill, and many times, personally bringing a mortal from deep trouble into calm light with you”

edit: link to the hymn is in the comments
