Text Appearing Before Image: inevery way. Aesculapius was not always represented as abearded man. Even in early times beardless statuesof the god were in existence, it being thought by somecritics not right that the son of a smooth-faced godshould have a beard. One of the best of this type isrepresented in Fig. 8. This was evidently made inRoman times, and the god suggests very much aRoman emperor. There are a number of other statues, rather poorin quality and belonging to the Graeco-Roman times.I am not able to classify them positively and simplyput them together as a bad later lot (Figs. 9 to 14). A most interesting series of votive tablets dis-covered at the temple of Aesculapius, on the southside of the Acropolis at Athens, shows the characterof the god and of his worship. These tablets weremade in the best Greek times and under good artisticinfluence, but were done by inferior artists, probably ofa grade not much different from our grave-stone cutters.Still, one of them has positive artistic merit, as shown Text Appearing After Image: Fig. 4.—Bust of Aesculapius in the Orlandini Palace at Florence.Copy of an early work by Myron. The style is severe, but perfectin its expression of character.
