The Healing of the Possessed is a predella panel from the Altarpiece of the Transfiguration, a notable work by the Catalan painter Bernat Martorell, created between 1445 and 1452. This panel is part of a larger ensemble that was originally situated in the Church of Sant Vicenç in Altarriba, Catalonia. The predella, a horizontal element below the main images of an altarpiece, typically contains narrative scenes related to the central subject matter of the altarpiece, which in this case is the Transfiguration of Christ.

Bernat Martorell, one of the most prominent Catalan painters of the 15th century, was known for his detailed and expressive style, which combined the International Gothic style with influences from the Italian Renaissance. His work on the Altarpiece of the Transfiguration is considered one of his masterpieces, showcasing his skill in narrative representation and his ability to infuse his figures with a sense of drama and emotion.

The Healing of the Possessed panel depicts a scene from the New Testament, where Jesus heals a boy possessed by a demon (Matthew 17:14-18, Mark 9:14-29, Luke 9:37-43). This miracle is often associated with the Transfiguration narrative, as it occurs shortly after Jesus is transfigured on the mountain in the presence of Peter, James, and John. In the panel, Martorell captures the moment of healing with a keen attention to the reactions of the figures surrounding the central event, reflecting the awe and wonder of the witnesses.

The panel is executed in tempera and gold leaf on wood, a common medium for altarpieces of the period. The use of gold leaf highlights the divine nature of the scene and adds a sense of opulence and sacredness to the work. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged to guide the viewer's eye towards the central action. Martorell's use of color, gesture, and facial expression enhances the storytelling and brings the biblical narrative to life.

The Healing of the Possessed predella panel, along with the other components of the Altarpiece of the Transfiguration, is an important example of 15th-century Catalan painting. It reflects the religious fervor of the period, the skill of the artist, and the stylistic trends that were prevalent in European art at the time. Today, the panel is not only a valuable piece of religious art but also a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the artistic and spiritual climate of the era in which it was created.
