EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the illuminated manuscript, "Ms Lat. Q. v. I. 126 f. 44 Susannah and the Elders" created by Jean Colombe in 1469. The artwork is part of the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, housed at the National Library in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image depicts Susannah, an elegant and virtuous woman from biblical apocrypha, innocently bathing near a beautiful fountain. However, unbeknownst to her, two elders secretly observe her with prurient intentions. Colombe's masterful illumination technique brings this medieval tale to life with intricate details and vibrant colors that enhance both the purity of Susannah's character and the lustful desires of those spying on her. Through this artwork, we are reminded of timeless themes such as beauty, seduction, and vulnerability. It serves as a poignant commentary on human nature's darker aspects while highlighting Susannah's unwavering purity amidst temptation. As we gaze upon this stunning print by Bridgeman Images, we become voyeurs ourselves - drawn into a world where innocence clashes with deceit and where artistry captures both physical nakedness and emotional exposure.
