Painting Description
"Susanna und die Beiden Alten" is a renowned artwork by Dutch artist Ferdinand Bol, completed around the mid 17th century. Inspired by the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders from the of Daniel, the painting is an exemplar of Bol's mature style after his departure from the studio of his mentor, RembrandtIn the artwork, Bol vividly illustrates the narrative of Susanna, a beautiful and virtuous woman, being wrongly accused of adultery by two lustful elders. Their treacherous plan fails when the young prophet Daniel intervenes. Bol’s choice of this subject matter, popular in the Baroque period, is suggestive of a consistent interest among artists and patrons in moral virtues and biblical themes.
The painting captures the dramatic moment using the masterful chiaroscuro technique – a distinct signature of Bol's mentor, Rembrandt. Susanna is depicted at the center, bathed in light, her innocence emphasized by her white, diaphanous garment, while the conniving elders are portrayed in the shadowy corners, their features hardened and menacing.
Despite the available records, there is little specific information about the work's patrons, earliest owners, and immediate reception. The current location of the artwork is also unclear, suggesting that it could be in a private collection.
Bol’s many works, including “Susanna und die Beiden Alten,” bear witness to his significant contribution to the Canon of Dutch Golden Age artistry and its impact on the broader European art scene during this period. His interpretation of this popular biblical story remains an invaluable resource for studying 17th-century Dutch art, particularly due to its stark lighting, intense drama, and psychological insight.
However, further scholarly research may shed more light on the context, interpretation, and trajectory of this significant artwork by Ferdinand Bol as it is underrepresented with respect to comprehensive scholarly attention.
