Against the backdrop of the wars with the Ammonites is the story in which David saw a beautiful woman, whom he recognized as the wife of a soldier in his army, sent for her and had sex with her.
Miniature of a radiant naked Bathsheba in her bath. In the Middle Ages, it was thought that King David wrote the seven penitential psalms as atonement for his sins, the greatest of which was seducing the young woman Bathsheba. In this scene, Bathsheba is transformed into the king's temptress, lingering naked in her bath and staring unashamedly at the viewer. Her abundant blonde hair glowed on the page and her high, small breasts and wide hips met the highest standards of female beauty of the time.

He was appointed painter to the king by four successive French kings, namely: Louis XI, Charles VIII, Louis XII and Francis I. Bourdichon is described by many art historians who studied his work as someone who produces flawless work.
