EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "David and Bethsabee" by Jan Massys. The artwork, created in 1562 using oil on wood, depicts a significant biblical scene from the story of King David. Standing on the terrace of his palace, King David gazes longingly at Bethsabee, who is none other than the wife of Urias the Hittite. Consumed by desire for her, he sends a servant to provoke an argument with Bethsabee. The intricate details and masterful brushstrokes in this painting bring forth a sense of realism and emotion. The artist skillfully captures the vulnerability and seductive beauty of Bethsabee as she encounters David's gaze. Her nudity symbolizes femininity and adds an element of sensuality to this encounter. Jan Massys' portrayal highlights themes such as love at first sight, temptation, power dynamics, and moral conflict found within biblical narratives. This particular scene serves as a reminder that even great leaders like King David were not immune to their desires or mistakes. Displayed prominently at Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of human emotions and complex relationships. As we admire this print today, it allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind it and reflect upon these universal themes that have resonated throughout history.
