Bathsheeba, Blue Background 1899

Maurice Denis's "Bathsheeba, Blue Background" from 1899 depicts a nude woman partially draped in a white cloth, seated against a background of blue and green hues. The painting exemplifies the Symbolist movement's exploration of suggestive imagery, where the figure's posture and soft, flowing lines evoke a sense of introspection and sensuality. Denis's use of color, particularly the vibrant blue and green tones, adds depth and atmosphere to the composition, creating a dreamlike quality.
