"A Sick Child brought into the Temple of Aesculapius" is an 1877 painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. This early work of Waterhouse, created before he developed his more famous mature style, depicts a scene from ancient Greek mythology. The painting illustrates a moment of hope and desperation as a sick child is presented at the temple of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine and healing, in search of a miraculous cure.

The artwork reflects Waterhouse's interest in classical themes and his ability to convey emotional depth through his subjects. The temple setting is rendered with architectural accuracy, and the figures are portrayed with a naturalistic sensitivity that was characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Waterhouse's use of color and light in this painting emphasizes the solemnity of the scene and the anxious anticipation of the child's family for divine intervention.

Although "A Sick Child brought into the Temple of Aesculapius" is not as well-known as Waterhouse's later works, such as "The Lady of Shalott" or "Hylas and the Nymphs," it is significant as an example of his early artistic development and his enduring fascination with mythological and historical subjects. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's skill in blending classical subject matter with the stylistic elements of the Pre-Raphaelites, setting the stage for the distinctive aesthetic he would achieve in his later career.
