Bathsheba in the Bath

Artemisia Gentileschi

Potsdam, Germany

The painting "Bathsheba in the Bath" by Artemisia Gentileschi has been in the New Palace in Sanssouci Park since it was acquired by Frederick the Great before 1769. Frederick acquired the painting together with other works by Italian artists in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War and had it permanently installed in the Great Hall of the New Palace - not knowing that it was the work of a woman.
Due to renovation work, the works have not been on display in the Neues Palais for some time and will not be on display for some years to come; it was not until 2019 that "Bathsheba in the Bath" was removed and has since undergone extensive restoration.
