Rembrandt's masterful Bathsheba Reading King David's Letter is
unusual both as a history painting and as a portrayal of a nude.
Instead of displaying a sumptuous body for the viewer's
delectation, Bathsheba elicits our empathy. This collection of
essays by seven leading Rembrandt scholars examines its qualities
from perspectives ranging from changing perceptions of female
beauty and the nude, technical analysis, and biographical and
psychological analysis of the artist, the subject, and the viewer.
The juxtaposition of these different approaches to a single work
highlights how both the artist and his art are constructed through
the questions we ask, and facilitates a comparison of some of the
different approaches practiced by art historians today.
