About the Item
Oil on Canvas. The large painting, echoes the pictorial modes of the 17th century but is of later date, and was made on a canvas applied over an older one.
The scene recounts the biblical 'episode (from the Book of Kings) extensively narrated pictorially, depicting the bathing of Bathsheba, the wife of General Uriah, in the service of King David. According to the biblical account, David is standing on the terrace of his palace when he notices the woman bathing in the garden of her home, surrounded by her handmaids.
David falls in love with her and seduces her, impregnating her. To disguise the misdeed, he summons General Uriah from the front to lie with his wife, but Uriah does not want to leave his soldiers; so David sends him to fight on the front lines hoping that he will be killed: this happens and David is able to marry Bathsheba, but he will be punished by God for the adultery and impiety committed.
The painting proposes the moment when Bathsheba, who has just emerged from the bath, as she is mirrored in the mirror held up to her by a slave girl, and surrounded by other servants, she reads the note sent to her by King David; the latter appears in the upper right corner, looking out over the terrace.
The scene is dominated by the female figures intertwined with each other in a tangle of robes and fabrics, and surrounded by the flowers of the garden; in the center stands the mirror in a rich gilded frame.
The painting has a patch in the lower right corner.
It is presented in antique gilt frame.
