AERT VAN ORT

(active 1490-1536)

Susanna and the Elders 1520-25 Stained glass, diameter 24 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Towards the end of the fifteenth century, silver-stained and painted roundels became quite common in the in houses in the Low Countries and Germany (see e.g. in the <A onclick="return OpenOther('/html/m/memling/3mature6/33nieuw.html')" HREF="/html/m/memling/3mature6/33nieuw.html">Diptych of Maarten Nieuwenhove</A> by Hans Memling). Susanna and the Elders comes from the circle of Aert van Ort and it illustrates the opening episode of the Old Testament story in which the beautiful and virtuous Susanna attracts the lustful attention of two elders. This was probably paired with another window or two illustrating the story's conclusion. Hundreds of roundels survive, suggesting that this form of relatively inexpensive domestic art enjoyed great popularity.
