Another Perfect Nude
Lot and his daughters by the Flemish manierist painter Jan Massys (c. 1509-1575).
One more of Massys’ perfect nudes. It’s interesting to compare this painting with his Bathsheba. The similarities are evident. Both paintings are mere constructions around that perfectly painted nudes, the burning Sodom and the mother in the back provide the historical background.

A Perfect Nude
David und Bathsheba (1562) by the Flemish manierist painter Jan Massys (c. 1509-1575).
Massys was best known for the sensuality of his nude paintings. Here Bathsheba and David are shown in a typical European courtly scene – besides from Bathsheba’s nudeness. The really interesting thing about the painting is that David appears two times: in the back on the balcony and in front with Bathsheba. That’s still very medieval, to unite on one image different stages of a story.
