David and Bathsheba is a notable painting by the French artist Michel-Honoré Bounieu, who was active during the 18th century. Bounieu, born in 1740 and deceased in 1814, was a painter and engraver known for his historical and religious compositions. His works often reflect the dramatic and emotional intensity characteristic of the period, and "David and Bathsheba" is no exception.

The painting depicts the biblical story of King David and Bathsheba, a narrative found in the Old Testament. According to the story, King David, while walking on the roof of his palace, sees Bathsheba bathing and is struck by her beauty. Despite knowing she is the wife of Uriah the Hittite, David summons her to his palace, leading to an affair that results in Bathsheba's pregnancy. To conceal his actions, David orchestrates Uriah's death in battle, subsequently marrying Bathsheba.

Bounieu's interpretation of this story captures the moment of David's initial encounter with Bathsheba. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the emotional tension and moral complexity of the scene. David is often portrayed with a contemplative or desirous expression, while Bathsheba is depicted with a sense of innocence or vulnerability, emphasizing the power dynamics and ethical implications of the narrative.

The painting is a testament to Bounieu's skill in rendering human emotion and his ability to convey complex stories through visual art. His use of color, composition, and attention to detail not only brings the biblical tale to life but also invites viewers to reflect on themes of power, temptation, and repentance. "David and Bathsheba" remains an important work within Bounieu's oeuvre and a significant example of 18th-century French religious painting.
