EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful biblical scene from the 17th century. Titled "Susanna" it showcases a moment of vulnerability and strength as Susanna, partly naked, emerges gracefully from a fountain. Positioned at the left side of the image are two elders, one of whom is seen tugging at her garment in an act of harassment. The artwork, created by Theodorus van Kessel after Reni's original masterpiece, beautifully depicts the timeless themes of religion and morality. It offers viewers a glimpse into Dutch Christian culture during this period. Displayed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Netherlands, this etching by Van Kessel invites contemplation on concepts such as nudity, power dynamics, and sexual harassment. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, he skillfully conveys Susanna's resilience amidst adversity. As we observe this thought-provoking piece today, it serves as a reminder that issues surrounding gender inequality persist across centuries. This photograph print not only celebrates artistic heritage but also prompts us to reflect on societal norms and challenges faced by women throughout history.
