A Lady in Her Bath by Francois Clouet / ARTE France.

A Lady in Her Bath (circa 1571), by François Clouet, bears witness to a period in which the pleasure of the senses and the spirit were caught up in religious conflict. It gave rise to the despotic canons of beauty. This film examines the painting's composition and symbolism.
