Title: Susanna and the Elders. MeToo in the Time of Hendrick De Clerck (c.1560-1630)
Description: Phoebus Focus 30, 2023 Softcover, 152 pag. ENG, 21 x 14,8 cm, ill. ISBN 9789464666342. ¶ The Brussels painter Hendrick De Clerck (c.1560-1630) was a celebrated artist in his day. He worked regularly for the Archdukes Albert and Isabella and those in their European network. De Clerck and his workshop also painted hundreds of pictures for the rest of the great and the good in the Spanish Netherlands, including moralizing biblical episodes such as the painting of Susanna and the Elders that is the subject of this edition of Phoebus Focus. Susanna's story has been represented in the visual arts since the early centuries of Christianity. But its greatest popularity comes in the sixteenth century. Under the safe umbrella of a moralizing life lesson, it provides the perfect excuse for a spot of titillating nudity. Although Hendrick De Clerck covers Susanna with elegant yet suggestive drapery, she still reveals all in this edition of Phoebus Focus.
