Van Hemessen & Father<\/em> brings together, for the first time, a broad overview of the sixteenth-century Van Hemessen family of artists. At its heart are Jan van Hemessen and his daughter Catharina, alongside the wider workshop around them. The exhibition sheds light on a family business in which painting, collaboration and artistic innovation were closely intertwined, while also giving particular attention to Catharina\u2019s position as a female artist in the sixteenth century.<\/p>\n\n

\"Painting
Jan Sanders van Hemessen, Susanna and the Elders<\/em>, 1543<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Three works by Jan Sanders van Hemessen from The Phoebus Foundation collection are included in the exhibition: Christ and the Woman Taken in Adultery<\/em> (c. 1535), Portrait of a Nobleman<\/em> (1543) and Susanna and the Elders<\/em> (1543). Together, they show the remarkable range of his work, from densely populated religious scenes to a more restrained portrait. In Susanna and the Elders<\/em>, his gift for powerful figures, expressive gestures and heightened drama comes especially to the fore. The painting was recently restored by The Phoebus Foundation\u2019s conservation studio and is now being presented to the public again as part of the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n
