EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Susanna, 1583" is a remarkable creation by the renowned artist Hendrik Goltzius. Dating back to the 16th century, this engraving showcases Goltzius' exceptional talent and attention to detail. The subject of this artwork is Susanna, a prominent figure from the Bible. In this piece, Goltzius beautifully captures her vulnerability and strength as she stands in an oval-shaped frame. The use of black and white adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. Goltzius' meticulous technique brings out every intricate line and shadow on Susanna's body, highlighting her nakedness with grace and dignity. This portrayal reflects both his artistic skill and his deep understanding of religious themes. As we admire this masterpiece at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it transports us back to the Netherlandish culture of the sixteenth century. It serves as a reminder of Christianity's influence during that time period while showcasing Goltzius' contribution to art history. The collaboration between Hendrik Goltzius and Claes Jansz Visscher has resulted in an extraordinary representation that continues to captivate viewers today. This print not only preserves our heritage but also invites contemplation on religion, femininity, and artistic expression across centuries.
