Detailed description :Rembrandt
Bethsabée tenant la lettre du roi David

Rembrandt
Bethsabée tenant la lettre du roi David

Author(s): Blaise  Ducos

€ 13.70 tax included

To appreciate the life-sized nude painted by Rembrandt in 1654, this book sets Bathsheba within the context of the master’s artistic quest. And yet this quest can only be understood once the preconceived judgments that veil the painting have been lifted from our eyes. How can we reach the beauty and eloquence of this religious painting? Do we still know how to admire it?
