"Susanna and the Elders" is a celebrated baroque painting by the Italian artist Guido Reni, completed around 1620–1625. The artwork is renowned for its depiction of the biblical story of Susanna, as recounted in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 13, which is considered deuterocanonical by Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions and apocryphal by Protestant traditions. In the narrative, Susanna is a virtuous young wife who is accosted by two lecherous elders while she bathes in her garden. They threaten to accuse her of adultery with a young man if she does not submit to their desires. Susanna refuses and is subsequently put on trial, but her innocence is eventually proven by the young prophet Daniel.

Reni's interpretation of the subject is noted for its delicate portrayal of Susanna's vulnerability and the psychological drama of the scene. The painting is characterized by its soft, diffused lighting and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. Reni's composition places Susanna off-center, drawing the viewer's attention to her figure and the emotional turmoil conveyed through her body language and expression. The elders, depicted as old and lecherous, loom over her, enhancing the tension and the moral dichotomy of purity versus corruption.

"Susanna and the Elders" by Guido Reni is held in high regard for its artistic excellence and its sensitive treatment of the subject matter. The painting is a prime example of Reni's mastery of the baroque style and his ability to infuse his works with both emotional resonance and moral gravity. It remains an important work in the study of 17th-century Italian art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and its rich interpretive possibilities. The painting is part of the collection of the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna, Italy, where it is displayed to the public and contributes to the understanding of baroque art and its historical context.
