EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. Taken in 1857 by James Robertson and Felice Beato, this image showcases the archeological remains of a significant biblical site. The pool, located in the Muslim Quarter, is described in the Gospel of John as a place surrounded by five covered colonnades where healing miracles took place. The photograph offers a glimpse into history, with its cityscape backdrop and ancient ruins. It transports us to a different era, allowing us to imagine what life was like during biblical times. The composition highlights both the architectural details of nearby houses and the serenity of the pool itself. The Pool of Bethesda holds great significance not only for religious reasons but also for its archeological value. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst urban development, traces of our past can still be found if we look closely enough. With its monochromatic tones and impeccable clarity, this photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail - from each stone on the ground to every column surrounding the pool. It is an exquisite piece that invites contemplation about faith, history, and human resilience throughout time. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical preservation while offering an opportunity for reflection on our connection to ancient civilizations.
