EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting "Susanna and the Elders" by Hendrik Goltzius, created in 1607. The oil on canvas masterpiece, now housed at Musee de la Chartreuse in Douai, France, depicts a scene from the biblical apocryphal book of Susanna. In this powerful composition, we witness Susanna's vulnerability as she is surrounded by two lecherous elders who threaten her chastity. Goltzius skillfully captures their sinister intentions through their facial expressions and body language, evoking a sense of danger and unease. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the timeless struggle between virtue and vice within Christianity. It explores themes of temptation, morality, and the strength to resist evil forces. Through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail, Goltzius brings this biblical narrative to life with remarkable realism. "Susanna and the Elders" continues to resonate with viewers today due to its universal message about standing up against injustice and maintaining one's integrity in challenging circumstances. This iconic artwork has become an enduring symbol of courage amidst adversity. Bridgeman Images presents this exquisite print for art enthusiasts seeking to appreciate Goltzius' masterful technique while contemplating the profound moral implications embedded within this religious painting.
