Victorian-era Academic artist Robert Bateman was strongly influenced by the work of Burne-Jones, and by the medieval frescoes that depicted religious subjects. This canvas by Bateman is infused with the Pre-Raphaelite iconography in its literalism, generous palette, and attenuation of the figures, to create an unadorned vision of the healing pool of ancient Jerusalem.
