About the piece

Painted in 1636, this oil on panel by Rembrandt van Rijn captures the biblical figure of Susanna in a moment of sudden intrusion. The work is a prime example of the artist's unparalleled ability to manipulate light and shadow, with the central figure bathed in a warm glow that contrasts sharply against the dense, dark foliage of the Dutch Golden Age garden.
