Susanna en de ouderlingen 1618 - 1655

"Susanna en de ouderlingen" is an etching by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut, dating back to the period between 1618 and 1655. The etching depicts a scene from the biblical story of Susanna, where she is falsely accused of adultery by two elders. The artwork is a powerful example of Schut's skill in capturing dramatic scenes with expressive figures and detailed backgrounds. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The image is a powerful depiction of the biblical story of Susanna and the elders, known for its use of chiaroscuro. The subject matter was popular in the Netherlands in the 17th century, and Schut's rendition is considered a fine example of this genre.
