EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jacopo Bassano's masterpiece, "Susanna and the Elders" painted in 1585. The oil on canvas artwork measures 85x125 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Nimes, France. Bassano's rendition of this biblical tale depicts Susanna, a virtuous woman caught in a moment of vulnerability as she bathes alone in her garden. Two elders, driven by lustful desires, secretly observe her from behind bushes. The artist skillfully captures the tension and unease within this scene through his masterful use of light and shadow. The painting belongs to the Mannerist style, characterized by its exaggerated poses and elongated figures. In this particular work, Bassano explores themes of lust and lechery with great finesse. His attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing life to each character's expression. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate the intricate details of Bassano's work up close while also highlighting the timeless allure of classical paintings. It serves as a reminder that even centuries-old artworks can still evoke strong emotions and provoke contemplation about human nature.
