}}Susanna and the Elders is a painting by Venetian painter Jacopo Robusti (1518{{nsndns}}1594). Robusti, also known as Tintoretto or Il{{nbsp}}Furioso, for the energy and "fury" with which he painted, depicted both sacred and profane subjects in a period known as the Venetian “golden century”.[1]

Susanna and the Elders (c.{{nbsp}}1555–56) depicts a scene from the biblical episode of Susanna, from the Book of Daniel.

The painting shows Susanna, a young married woman, sitting on the edge of a small pool, preparing to take a bath. She is watched by two elderly men, acquaintances of her husband, who desire her. The lustful elders are depicted in the painting hiding behind a rose trellis in her garden. They are watching and spying on her, trying to find an opportunity to catch her alone in the garden.

The story of Susanna and the elders was frequently depicted in art history. The painting is full of symbols. The objects beside the main figure included white pearls, silver jewelry, a silk shawl, and a silver jug. The painting is considered one of Tintoretto's "masterpieces".[2][3]

Background

sitting absorbed by her reflection in the mirror and unaware of the intruders. The viewer is, of course, well aware of the two men, who seem just about move toward her, releasing the tension of the scene and adding a certain drama to the painting.

There are several smaller side scenes toward the edges of the main scene of the painting. As commentaries on the main subject, the symbols the painter used in these scenes tell their own story: the stag stands for lust, the magpie symbolizes the malicious gossip the two elders inflict on the innocent woman, and the ducks represent fidelity.

Susanna's body is contrasted in a masterful way against the dark mass of the rose trellis, and the dark water, while the bodies of the three figures form a triangle. The lines of the slightly forced perspective of the rose trellis draw the viewer into the scene, opening up new vistas through the arch in the background and adding depth to the painting.[2][3]
