EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bartolome Esteban Murillo's masterpiece, "Christ healing the Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda". Painted between 1667 and 1670, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 237x261 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery in London, UK. The painting depicts a significant moment from biblical history when Jesus visited the pool in Jerusalem during Shabbat. In this scene, he encounters a man who has been bedridden for many years, unable to move independently. With compassion and divine power, Jesus heals him by saying, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk". Murillo created this piece specifically for the hospital church of Caridad (Charity) in Seville. As a member of this charitable brotherhood dedicated to assisting the poor and sick, Murillo's work reflects his devotion to serving those in need. With its baroque style and meticulous attention to detail, this painting beautifully captures not only the miracle but also the spiritual significance behind it. The composition features angels hovering above as witnesses to Christ's healing power while emphasizing elements such as water symbolism and architectural details like colonnades. Through its portrayal of faith and hope through miraculous intervention, "Christ healing the Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda" remains an iconic representation of religious art. This print serves as a reminder of both Murillo's artistic brilliance and his commitment to helping others through his craft.
