Christ Healing at the Pool of Bethesda 1520 - 1566

This pen-and-ink drawing by Flemish artist Lambert Lombard depicts the biblical scene of Christ healing a man at the Pool of Bethesda. The work is a masterful example of Renaissance draughtsmanship, showcasing Lombard's skill in rendering the human form and creating a sense of depth and space. The scene is set in a bustling marketplace, with a large crowd surrounding the pool, while Christ, positioned prominently in the foreground, extends his hand towards the man, who is being lifted from the ground. This work is considered a significant example of Lombard's artistic talent and provides insights into religious art from the 16th century.
