About the piece
This 1877 painting by Robert Bateman illustrates the biblical story of the Pool of Bethesda with the meticulous detail and ethereal light characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The composition features a striking angelic figure descending stone steps on the right, contrasted with the contemplative figures awaiting healing in the shaded architecture on the left.
