EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Leon Gerome's exquisite gilt bronze sculpture, "Bathsheba; Bethsabee". Standing at an impressive height of 82.8 cm, this piece is a testament to the artist's mastery and attention to detail. Gerome created this sculpture in 1896 as a recreation of his lost painting from 1889. The artwork depicts Bathsheba, a biblical figure known for her beauty and involvement in King David's story. In this representation, we see Bathsheba reaching out with grace and elegance, emphasizing her femininity and vulnerability. The sculpture exudes an academic style that was popular during the late nineteenth century in France. Gerome skillfully captures every contour of Bathsheba's body, highlighting both her physical beauty and inner strength. The use of gilt bronze adds a touch of opulence to the artwork, enhancing its visual appeal. The intricate details on the jug she holds further emphasize Gerome's dedication to creating lifelike representations. This print allows us to appreciate the fine artistry behind Gerome's work while also delving into themes such as personal cleanliness and hygiene prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time by capturing moments from ancient texts like the Bible. Overall, this stunning image invites viewers into Gerome's world where they can marvel at his artistic prowess and immerse themselves in the timeless tale of Bathsheba.
