"Daniel et les Vieillards" (Daniel and the Elders) is a painting by the French artist Ambroise Dubois (1543–1614), who was a prominent figure at the court of Henry IV of France and known for his decorative works and mythological scenes. This particular painting is part of a series that depicts the story of Daniel from the Bible, specifically the episode of "Susanna and the Elders" from the Book of Daniel, which was a popular subject in art due to its themes of virtue, lust, and divine justice.

The painting illustrates the moment when the young prophet Daniel intervenes to defend Susanna, who has been falsely accused of adultery by two lecherous elders after she rejects their advances. In Dubois' rendition, Daniel is typically shown as a figure of wisdom and moral strength, juxtaposed against the deceitful elders who represent corruption and vice.

As a work of the late French Renaissance, "Daniel et les Vieillards" reflects the Mannerist style that Dubois was known for, characterized by elongated figures, sophisticated color schemes, and complex compositions. The painting would have been intended for an erudite audience, familiar with both the biblical narrative and the allegorical interpretations of virtue and vice that were common in the period's art.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the late 16th or early 17th century, during Dubois' tenure as a court painter. "Daniel et les Vieillards" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context, offering insight into the religious and moral preoccupations of the French Renaissance, as well as the courtly taste for elaborate and instructive decoration.

Today, the painting is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes in France, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and artistic beauty. As with many works of its time, "Daniel et les Vieillards" serves as a testament to the enduring power of biblical stories in inspiring art that speaks to universal human experiences across time.
