Bathsheba

"Bathsheba" is an oil painting on canvas by French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, created in 1889 at Bougival. This religious painting captures the biblical figure Bathsheba with a striking sense of realism and detail characteristic of Gérôme's meticulous technique. Reflecting Academicism, the work emphasizes precise, polished presentation and historical accuracy. Although now held in a private collection, the painting exemplifies Gérôme's mastery in rendering classical and biblical themes, blending religious homage with his refined artistic style.
