De zieken bij de vijver van Bethesda 1630 - 1684

Domenico Maria Canuti's "De zieken bij de vijver van Bethesda" is a black chalk drawing depicting the biblical scene of Jesus healing a sick man at the Pool of Bethesda. The drawing, created between 1630 and 1684, showcases Canuti's skill in rendering human anatomy and dynamic composition. The central figure of the sick man, supported by a companion, is rendered with great detail and emotional intensity, reflecting the artist's interest in capturing human suffering and the miraculous nature of Jesus' intervention. This intimate and expressive artwork is a testament to Canuti's artistic prowess within the Baroque period.
