Healing the Paralytic (Jésus-Christ prouve en guérissant un paralytique, qu'il a le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés) 1593 - 1670

Claude Vignon's etching "Healing the Paralytic" (1593-1670) depicts the biblical story of Jesus Christ healing a paralyzed man. The artwork is a fine example of Baroque etching, featuring intricate details and dramatic use of light and shadow. The scene is set in a bustling street, with a crowd of people gathered around Jesus and the paralyzed man, who is being lowered through a roof opening in a stretcher held by four men. Vignon's work captures the awe and wonder of the miracle, with the focus on the outstretched hand of Jesus. The etching is a testament to the power of faith and the healing touch of God. The work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
