Justus Suttermans

Justus Suttermans is a Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.

This was a painter who made formal portraits of nobles and royals. In *Maria cu Pruncul și Sfânta Ana*, soft light models the figures while deep shadows keep the background plain so the sitters stand out. It belongs to the 17th-century European tradition that prized crisp detail and quiet dignity. Tap the painting to see every lace stitch and pearl bead the artist recorded in oil.
