About the piece
This 1879 oil painting by Laurits Tuxen depicts the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders with remarkable technical skill and dramatic flair. The composition highlights the contrast between the luminous flesh tones of the central figures and the dark, atmospheric background, while the intricate folds of draped fabrics add a sense of movement and crisis to the scene, exemplifying late 19th-century academic realism.
