The Pool of Bethesda, Jerusalem, 18th Century: A Historical and Cultural Exploration This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Carroci after Giulio Ferrario, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, depicting the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem during the 18th century. The Pool of Bethesda, located in the Muslim Quarter of the city, is a significant site in both Jewish and Christian history. In the foreground of the image, the Pool itself is shown, with its intricately carved tombs, including those of Absalom and Absaloms, and the famous pillar believed to be the site where the angel would stir the waters, healing those who could first reach them. The entrance to the cave, where according to tradition, King Jehosophat had sought refuge during a prophetic vision, can be seen in the background. The Pool of Bethesda is situated in the Kidron Valley, near the site of the ancient city of Bethsaida, and has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries. The ruins of the ancient city can be seen in the distance, adding to the historical significance of the scene. This engraving is taken from Luigi Mayer's "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1804. The meticulous detail and vibrant colours of the handcolouring bring the image to life, providing a fascinating insight into the fashion, history, and culture of the time. The various peoples of the world, depicted in Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern," can be seen in the background, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this image.
