The Pool 

Palma il Giovane's painting, "The Pool," depicts the Biblical story of Jesus healing a paralytic man at the Pool of Bethesda. The painting showcases the artist's characteristic use of rich color and dramatic lighting, typical of the Venetian Renaissance. The scene is set in a classical architectural setting with a central figure of Jesus, who reaches out his hand to the paralytic man. The artist’s depiction of the event is a powerful testament to the healing power of Jesus and the human condition. This work highlights Palma il Giovane's mastery of portraying religious narratives with a strong visual impact.
