AT BETHESDA’S WATERS
"Christ’s healing power is more than physical. He has the power to make a person whole, to heal the soul as well as the body. The magnificent painting by Carl Heinrich Bloch of Christ Healing the Sick at the Pool of Bethesda portrays Christ both as a healer and a comforter. The original painting, a wonderful gift, has just arrived on campus and will be the signature piece for the Museum of Art. We hope it will be a constant reminder of our heritage and our mission."
Twenty years ago, the Museum of Art learned of an incredible opportunity: the chance to obtain an original, iconic Carl Heinrich Bloch altarpiece. After months of negotiations, the Bethesda Indre Mission and Danish government approved the sale and, through the generosity of dedicated museum donors, Christ Healing the Sick at Bethesda miraculously made its way to Utah in September 2001, where it has blessed the lives of the Museum’s visitors ever since.
