In the history of art, the goddess Hygieia is often seen alongside her father Asclepius. While Asclepius heals the patients, Hygieia protects them from other illnesses and keeps them clean. In art history, she is usually symbolized holding a snake in one hand and a bowl in the other.
Inside this bowl, it is believed to contain oil, honey, and wheat. The combination of these snake and bowl figures has become a symbol of pharmacy. Famous painters like Peter Paul Rubens and Gustav Klimt have also depicted this goddess in their works.
Due to its association with cleanliness, the images and reliefs of this goddess are often found in Roman and Ancient Greek baths.
Is this hearth, which we have renovated in your room in perfect resemblance to the original, taking you on a journey towards the bowl in Hygieia's hand, filled with oil and honey, just like it does to us?
