EDITORS COMMENTS
Pieter Aertsen's masterpiece, The Healing of the Paralytic at the Pool of Bethesda, painted in 1575, offers a vivid and dynamic depiction of a biblical scene from the Gospel of John (5:1-15). Set against the backdrop of an exterior Jerusalem scene, the painting showcases the bustling activity of the Pool of Bethesda, a place believed to have healing properties. At the center of the composition, Christ, portrayed as Christ Antiphonetes, the 'Lord of the Sabbath,' performs the miraculous healing of a paralytic man. Surrounding the central figure, a diverse crowd of men and women, some with disabilities, gather in anticipation of the miraculous event. The intricate architectural details of the building exterior, with its impressive Lions Gate, add to the grandeur and significance of the scene. The use of vibrant colors and rich textures in the oil on panel painting exemplifies the Mannerist style, popular during the 16th century in the Low Countries of Europe. This heritage art piece, created by the renowned Dutch artist Pieter Aertsen, invites viewers to reflect on the themes of healing, miracles, and faith as depicted in the New Testament.
