EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing artwork titled "Young woman at the Well (Susanna and the Elders?)" from the Madrid Album, dating back to 1795. Housed in the esteemed Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, this piece is a testament to Francisco Goya's exceptional talent and his contribution to fine art. The image depicts a young woman by a well, her vulnerability palpable as she gazes into its depths. The subject matter suggests that it may be inspired by the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders from the Book of Daniel. This tale explores themes of justice, deceit, and morality. Goya's mastery is evident in every stroke of ink on paper, capturing both beauty and emotion with precision. The use of nudity adds an element of sensuality while also highlighting societal issues such as objectification and power dynamics. Intriguingly, Goya leaves room for interpretation with an air of implausibility surrounding two elderly judges observing Susanna. This ambiguity invites viewers to question their own perceptions and ponder deeper meanings within this genre painting. As a representative work from Spain's Romanticism period, this print exemplifies Goya's ability to evoke strong emotions through his artistry. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless masterpieces continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their profound messages about human nature and society itself.
