Susanna and the Elders
Oil On Canvas- WallArt

Accademia di San Luca
The famous episode of Susanna—which in Venetian painting had been revived by Jacopo Tintoretto with a few paintings around 1560—is narrated in the Book of Daniel. The young woman, caught by surprise during a bath by two men, rejected their advances and, unfairly accused, was eventually rescued by a providential intervention of Daniel. Palma’s great storytelling ability emerges clearly in this canvas. He deploys the episode on various receding planes, focusing on the curvaceous central nude of Susanna backed by a maid, while the two elders hide behind a tree—a detail not devoid of a certain humor.
Jacopo Palma Il Giovane (1548 – 1628)
Jacopo Palma il Giovane (1548–1628) oli merkittävä venetsialainen maalarit, joka tunnettiin värin, valon ja uskonnollisten teemojen mestarista. Tintoretton kuoleman jälkeen hän yhdisti Tizianin tekniikat Tintoretton tyyliin.
