EDITORS COMMENTS
This panel painting by Lorenzo Costa, titled 'The Story of Susanna: The Elders as Judges,' dates back to the 1480s and is a critical representation of a pivotal moment in the biblical narrative of Susanna. The Old Testament Book of Daniel recounts the story of Susanna, a young Babylonian woman falsely accused of adultery by two lecherous old judges while bathing in her private garden. In this panel, we see the two elders seated as judges, their stern expressions and authoritative poses conveying the gravity of their decision-making power. Susanna's story is one of injustice and the preservation of virtue, as she was sentenced to death based on false accusations. However, through the intervention of a young nobleman named Daniel, Susanna's innocence was proven, and her life was saved. This panel is an exquisite example of the artistic skill and storytelling ability of Lorenzo Costa during the Italian Renaissance. Tempera on wood panel, this painting is a testament to the rich heritage of Christian art and the enduring power of religious themes in art. The full-length figures of the elders, their aged faces etched with wrinkles and the folds of their robes, add depth and texture to the scene, while the interior setting and the use of color and light create a sense of intimacy and intrigue. This painting is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human condition.
