Suzanne and the Old People
Early 18th century
Oil on canvas
873-1-140
Bequeathed by Jean-Marie de Silguy in 1864
H. 34,5 cm - L. 42,5 cm
At a time when religious tensions faded, religious painting reappeared. Verkolje asserts himself as a specialist in biblical scenes which he paints in the style of scenes of genre.
The composition is clever and full of details and objects executed in a smooth and precious manner.
The painting appears from the end of the 18th century in a French collection.
This is not surprising, because as a triumph of neo-classicism, it is, for art lovers, the most accessible example of Nordic painting.
