Landscape with Bathseba, Jan van Scorel, ca. 1540 - ca. 1545
Everything here breathes classical antiquity: from the ancient fountain statues to the classical architecture of the palace. The biblical story is subordinate to the wide panorama. Bathseba is sitting in the front left-hand corner and is being watched by King David, the little figure on the right-hand side of the balcony. Even from that distance, he's charmed by Bathseba's beauty.
