About Bathsheba JeanLeon Gerome Orientalism Art Painting
“Bathsheba” painted by the famous Orientalist artist Jean Leon Gerome, is an admirable proof of his excellent ability to portray simple subject matter in an exceptionally detailed and attractive manner. A young woman bathes atop a roof terrace in this masterfully composed work by the great French painter Jean-Léon Gérôme. His subject is Bathsheba, the Old Testament beauty with a dramatic tale who becomes King David’s wife and the mother of Solomon. Gérôme paints her as David first glimpses her, washing on a rooftop in the open air, and it is this sight that causes him to fall passionately in love with her. Brilliantly conceived, the oil on canvas brings together Gérôme’s aptitude for narrative painting with his incomparable virtuosity for capturing the female nude.
