EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print, titled "Healing of the Paralytic," showcases the profound depth and intricacy of German art during this era. The artwork, created using chalk, graphite, brown wash with pen and gold ink on laid paper laid down on off white paper, is a testament to the artist's mastery of monochrome techniques. The concept of the print is derived from the biblical story of the healing of the paralytic at Bethesda, as recorded in the Gospel of John (5:1-15). In the image, a crowd of men gather around a pool, believed to have healing powers, with the central figure being a man in a state of paralysis, lying on a mat. Jesus, the healer, is depicted in the foreground, reaching out to touch the man with a gentle and compassionate expression on his face. The miracle of healing is represented by the man's newfound ability to stand up and walk, as evidenced by his strong posture and the joyful expression on his face. The print's sepia tones add a sense of warmth and nostalgia, while the fine details and textures created through the use of graphite and chalk bring the scene to life. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the rich heritage of Christian art and the profound impact it has had on the world. This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and research center, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print's intricate details and thought-provoking concept make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the enduring power of religious art.
