EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century Mexican print titled "La Gran Nusta Mania Occollo" transports us to a world of religious mysticism and cultural intrigue. Measuring 46.3x38.8 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and showcases the exceptional talent of the Mexican School. The image depicts a decapitated priestess adorned with an elaborate fan on her head, accompanied by a parrot perched on her shoulder. Standing beside her is a dwarf figure, adding an element of curiosity to the composition. The influence of Aztec culture is evident in the symbolism and intricate details present throughout. One cannot help but be drawn into the narrative surrounding this piece - exploring themes such as deformity, illness, medicine, and health. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, societies grappled with understanding and treating various maladies. The presence of Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god associated with healing and medicine further emphasizes these themes. This connection between art and medical science highlights humanity's eternal quest for physical well-being. Through its vivid colors and meticulous brushstrokes, this painting invites contemplation about infectious diseases like flu or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) prevalent during that era. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder for our appreciation today while reminding us of the importance healthcare plays in preserving our physical health – just as Asklepios did centuries ago at his renowned asklepieion temples
