Description
Susanna and the Elders by Peter Paul Rubens turns a garden setting into a scene of confrontation. Susanna twists away from the two approaching men, her pale figure and startled gaze standing out against dark foliage and richly colored clothing.
The converging gestures make the tension immediate, while architectural details, vessels and a small dog fill out the surroundings. In Susanna and the Elders, Rubens uses the contrast between exposed vulnerability and insistent movement to give the narrative its force.
