The artwork, titled "A Bathhouse" is an exquisite piece from Facta et dicta memorabilia by Valerius Maximus, created around 1470. It was skillfully crafted by the talented Master of Anthony of Burgundy. The scene depicted in this painting takes place within a bustling bathhouse, where individuals gather to indulge in the therapeutic benefits of hot springs and steam baths. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this tradition, showcasing both men and women enjoying their time together in a state of undress.
