Susanna og de ældste 1602

"Susanna og de ældste" is an etching by Jan Saenredam, created in 1602. This print depicts the biblical story of Susanna, a young woman falsely accused of adultery by two elders. The scene is set in a garden, with a fountain and two elders confronting Susanna who is partially clothed in the water. The artist's detailed rendering of the figures and the garden setting creates a compelling and dramatic narrative. Saenredam's etching is a notable example of the genre of "Biblical Prints" which were popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. This piece is a part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
