Description
Circle of Marcantonio Franceschini,
Italian 1648-1729-
Susanna and the Elders;
oil on canvas, 65 x 89.8 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Susanna and the Elders is an Old Testament story of a woman falsely accused of adultery after she refuses two men who, after discovering one another in the act of spying on her while she bathes, conspire to blackmail her. Depictions of the story date back to the late 3rd / early 4th centuries. Indeed, the story has been portrayed by many artists, particularly in the early Christian and late Renaissance and Baroque periods. The bathing Susanna was first shown fully clothed and served as a symbol of faith and marital chastity. In the 15th century more images depicted her nude in her bath and became increasingly lascivious, thereby allowing artists the opportunity to display their skill in the depiction of the female nude, often for the pleasure of their male patrons.
