Description: | This is probably a fragment of a larger painting representing the biblical story of Susannah and the Elders. The episode is taken from the Apocryphal Book of Daniel. The prophet Daniel vindicated Susannah after she was accused of adultery by two men whom she had rejected. Susannah is often depicted undressing or preparing to bathe in her garden. The modelling and palette recall late seventeenth-century Bolognese models. | Subjects: | religion (Susannah) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Northern Italian) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to manner of Reni, Guido (Italian painter and draftsman, 1575-1642) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9010... | Go to resource |
