DescriptionDescription: No watermark Inscribed on the old mount in pen and brown ink: Andrea Vicentino Veneziano Scolaro del Palma juniore. a fatto diversi lavori nelle Sale dello Scrutinio del grand Consiglio. e nelle chiese. lauoro sino agli anni 75. 1614. Ridolfi 2. fol 144 (Vicente Victoria). Numbered: 1284 (Sparre) The pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem was visited by the sick in the hope of being cured by its waters when these were set in motion from time to time, according to the believers by the action of an angel (probably the pool was supplied by a spring). This was where Christ healed a lame man on the Sabbath (St. John 5:8) The traditional attribution was accepted by Sirén but Tietze considers that the sheet is "more probably a shop production" [Bjurström, It.
