Discover the Beauty of this Rococo Masterpiece

If you are an art lover, chances are that you have dreamt of owning some of the most famous pieces of artwork like those by Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, and Michelangelo. Unfortunately, these pieces of artworks are not only expensive, costing up to hundreds of millions of dollars, but are properties of national museums and, thus, cannot be owned.

However, you can still enjoy the beauty of these masterpieces by purchasing high-quality reproductions from our online gallery at Wikioo.org. One such artwork that you may consider is the 'Bathsheba in her Bath' by Sebastiano Ricci.

Sebastiano Ricci: Bathsheba in her Bath (Rococo,)
  • This painting is a Rococo masterpiece executed c.1720 by the Venetian artist Sebastiano Ricci.
  • It depicts the Biblical story of the seduction of Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, by the Israelite king, David.
  • Bathsheba is identified only by the barely visible spying figure in the Budapest painting and by the figure of a maid approaching with a letter from King David.

This painting is one of two depictions of the theme by Sebastiano Ricci. The other one, 'Bathsheba at her Bath 1', was also executed c.1720 and is currently in a private collection.

Sebastiano Ricci: Bathsheba in her Bath 1 (Rococo,)
  • This painting is similar to the first one but with some differences in the composition and color scheme.
  • It also depicts the Biblical story of the seduction of Bathsheba by King David.

Both paintings are excellent examples of Sebastiano Ricci's mastery of the Rococo style, characterized by lightness, elegance, and grace. The soft colors, delicate brushwork, and intricate details make these paintings a joy to behold.
