Bethesda Fountain Statue

1. Introduction of Bethesda Fountain Statue

The Bethesda Angel, formally known as the Angel of the Waters, is the centerpiece of the Bethesda Fountain in New York’s Central Park. Created in 1873 by sculptor Emma Stebbins, the angel of bethesda fountain is not only the first public sculpture created by a female artist in the United States, but also one of New York’s most symbolic city landmarks. The Bethesda Fountain Statue was inspired by the story of the Bethesda Pool in Chapter 5 of the Bible, John, where it is said that the angel descended into the pool water to give it healing powers. The sculpture is cast in bronze, and the angel is noble and elegant, wearing a long robe with delicate and smooth folds, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of classical sculpture.

The angel’s wings are spread, and the feathers are finely carved, presenting a light and sacred atmosphere. Her right hand is gently extended, as if blessing the world, while her left hand holds a lily branch, symbolizing purity, holiness and healing power. The angel stands on a rock base, with his toes lightly touching the water, symbolizing the miracle of the angel descending to the Pool of Bethlehem in the Bible. This Bethesda Fountain Statue is not only a masterpiece of art, but also a cultural symbol that carries history, religion and humanistic care. Arturban statue can customize various angel statues.
