Hygieia is a notable sculpture created by the Austrian sculptor Johann Martin Fischer, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Fischer, born in 1740 and passing in 1820, was a prominent figure in the Neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the classical art forms of ancient Greece and Rome. His work is characterized by its adherence to classical ideals of beauty, proportion, and harmony, and Hygieia is a prime example of these principles.

The sculpture depicts Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and hygiene, who was the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine. In classical mythology, Hygieia was often associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health, making her an important figure in both ancient and modern contexts. Fischer's representation of Hygieia captures the serene and composed nature of the goddess, embodying the Neoclassical emphasis on calm and rational beauty.

Crafted in marble, the statue of Hygieia showcases Fischer's skillful technique and his ability to convey delicate details through the medium. The goddess is typically depicted holding a patera (a shallow libation bowl) in one hand and a serpent entwined around her other arm, symbolizing her role in health and medicine. The serpent, often associated with Asclepius, underscores the connection between the two deities and their shared domain over medical knowledge and healing practices.

Fischer's Hygieia not only reflects the artistic trends of his time but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of classical mythology in European art. The sculpture is celebrated for its aesthetic qualities and its embodiment of the ideals of the Neoclassical movement. Today, it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Johann Martin Fischer and a significant representation of Hygieia in the visual arts.
