Bathsheba at Her Bath (Hayez)

For the 1827 painting, see Bathsheba (Hayez).

Bathsheba at Her Bath (Italian: Betsabea al bagno) is an 1834 history painting by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez.^[1] It depicts the biblical story of Bathsheba who is spied bathing by the Israelite king David her future husband. It was a popular theme for artists from the Renaissance era onwards.^[2] Hayez painted the scene in the style of the ascendant romanticism of the 1830s. He had earlier produced a painting of Bathsheba for William I of Württemberg featuring a very different composition.^[3]
