EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Picture (Susannah and the Elders), England, Queen Anne period, c. 1700/10" takes us back to the 18th century in Britain. The artwork showcases an intricate embroidery piece that depicts a scene from the Old Testament's Book of Daniel - Susannah and the Elders. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every stitch has been carefully executed using silk floss in various techniques such as long and short shading, stem outline, back couching, satin chain knot, bullion feather or fishbone stitches. The result is a stunning floral design with vibrant colors that adorn a linen plain weave fabric. In this particular scene captured by the artist Unknown, we see two elderly men gesturing towards Susannah who stands gracefully amidst nature's beauty. She appears confident yet vulnerable while holding a book in her hand. The presence of birds adds an element of liveliness to the composition; notably, a majestic peacock steals our gaze with its striking plumage. This artwork not only showcases exceptional needlework skills but also explores themes of harassment and nudity within historical context. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery or art center for all to admire and contemplate upon its rich heritage value. It serves as a reminder of both artistic excellence during Queen Anne's reign and significant biblical narratives depicted through visual arts in England during that time period.
