Bathsheba Bathing, c.1498, Tempera and gold on parchment

Gaze upon Jean Bourdichon miniature of the radiant Bathsheba Bathing. In this scene, Bathsheba is transformed into the temptress of King David, lingering naked in her bath and gazing unabashedly out at the viewer. Her abundant blond hair glows on the page, and her high, small breasts and broad hips accorded with the highest standards of feminine beauty of the time.
