Rembrandt, Bathsheba at her Bath
King David sees her bathing from his terrace and is struck by her beauty, and summons her even though she is the wife of a general... Uriah...발음듣기
They begin an illicit, adulterous affair that ends in tragedy with Uriah being sent by David into battle to certain death and David and Bathsheba have a stillborn child.발음듣기
I think we see that this is the first step in a terrible tragedy written on Bathsheba's face.발음듣기
This is a really interesting painting in that you have Rembrandt lavishing tremendous attention to the beauty of her body, but at the same time this is really a painting that's about psychology.발음듣기
It's about this moment of contemplation as she readies herself and there's a degree of sadness and perhaps some interest in the illicit as well.발음듣기
Rembrandt is often showing us people's emotion, their vulnerability, he's often showing us people in a contemplative moment and that's what we see here with Bathsheba.발음듣기
She seems to be contemplating the future, she holds the letter in her hand, she moves her left hand back and exposes her body to us, and you're right, there's that sense of the sensuality of her body and David's desire for her implicit in our own gaze at her body, but at the same time a real consciousness of what this means for her, that she will commit a sin and that she will pay for that sin.발음듣기
There does seem to be real foreboding and it's not simply from the dark, warm colors of this painting, but it really has to do with the tilt of her head, her gaze is downward, the lids of her eyes are low, and it has to do with the softness and, as you said, the vulnerability of the face and the relaxed muscles of the face.발음듣기
We get a bit of a sense of a bed in the background... the servant at the bottom washing or drying her feet... that typical Rembrandt painterliness in the white sheet at the right corner.발음듣기
She takes up the space of the painting and her emotions take up the space of the painting, too.발음듣기
The brushwork is most evident in that white sheet that she has her hand on and that surrounds her and it's really playful and energetic.발음듣기
Look at those subtle whites and pinks and greens and warm tones against cool and the ways in which her skeletal structure and her flesh, the fat in her body, are all so tenderly rendered.발음듣기
The figure of Bathsheba is modeled on Rembrandt's own female companion, Hendrikje, and I'm struck by how she's not an idealized classical nude.발음듣기
She's a real person and that also strikes me as very Baroque and very Rembrandt - this interest in the 'real'...발음듣기
