The Pool of Bethesda - A Miraculous Scene from the 18th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a powerful moment in history, depicting "The Pool of Bethesda" as described in St. John, Chapter 5. Created on February 24,1772 by renowned artists Simon Francois Ravenet and Victor Marie Picot, this engraving beautifully portrays an angelic figure overseeing a scene filled with hope and healing. In the center of the image lies the pool itself, surrounded by men, women, and children who are seeking solace from their ailments. The etching showcases individuals with bandages and crutches, symbolizing their desperate need for a cure. Among them is a man accompanied by his faithful dog - a testament to the bond between humans and animals even during times of distress. The artwork not only highlights religious themes but also explores concepts of medicine and science prevalent during that era. It provides us with insight into St Bartholomew's Hospital as it stood in the eighteenth century - serving as both a place of care for those suffering from various illnesses and injuries while also representing faith in divine intervention. William Hogarth's influence can be seen through his collaboration with Ravenet and Picot on this masterpiece. Their combined artistic talents have created an enduring heritage art piece that continues to inspire awe centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded of the power of compassion, faith, and miracles that transcend time.
