A while ago (2002) the Museum of Art at BYU purchased a painting titled "Christ Healing the Sick at Bethesda". I was excited to hear of this because at the time, it was one of the most spectacular things I had ever seen. I had only seen it in a movie in which it had very brief exposure. I was able to go out to Utah that summer for an education conference. The painting was on display in the museum.
It was one of the greatest, if not THE greatest work of art that I have ever seen. It was an experience that I will never forget. THe painting is fantastic. It stands what seems to be 10-15 feet tall. It is all encompassing. It truly is a grend masterpiece. I went to the museums website today to see if they had a picture of it just because i wanted to see it.
To my surprise I found that the bookstore of the Museum has prints of the great work for purchase. When I was there before, they had them to buy, but one had to buy the framing as well. It is now possible for one to buy the print alone.
I am, to say the least, excited and I certainly intend to buy a print to grace the walls of our humble home. Take a look for yourself, it is captivating.
