EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless masterpiece "Susanna and the Elders" by Tintoretto, a renowned Italian artist from the 16th century. The oil on canvas painting, measuring an impressive 167x238 cm, is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The scene depicted in this artwork is inspired by a biblical story from the Old Testament. Susanna, a virtuous woman bathing alone in her garden, finds herself being watched by two elders who have become infatuated with her beauty. This dramatic moment of vulnerability and invasion of privacy is skillfully portrayed through Tintoretto's masterful brushstrokes. The composition showcases Tintoretto's Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures and exaggerated gestures that add to the intensity of the narrative. The servant or maid attending to Susanna adds depth to the scene as she unknowingly becomes complicit in this act of voyeurism. With its religious undertones and moral implications, "Susanna and the Elders" serves as a powerful reminder of virtue triumphing over temptation. This iconic painting has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and profound storytelling. Through this remarkable print captured by Peter Willi, art enthusiasts can now bring home a piece of history while appreciating Tintoretto's genius for generations to come.
