"Susanna e i Vecchioni" (Susanna and the Elders) is a 1610 oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi. This work is one of Gentileschi's early masterpieces, created when she was just 17 years old, and it is often cited as a powerful example of her skill in depicting female subjects with a sense of agency and emotional complexity. The painting illustrates the biblical story of Susanna from the Book of Daniel, in which two elders spy on the virtuous Susanna as she bathes, later attempting to coerce her into a sexual encounter by threatening to accuse her of adultery if she refuses their advances.

Gentileschi's interpretation of this narrative is notable for its dramatic portrayal of Susanna's distress and her rejection of the elders' lecherous gaze. The work is imbued with a sense of realism and psychological depth that is characteristic of Gentileschi's style, and it reflects her own experiences as a woman in a male-dominated society and art world. The painting's composition, use of light and shadow, and the expressive body language of the figures showcase Gentileschi's mastery of the Baroque aesthetic and her ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

"Susanna e i Vecchioni" is also significant in the context of feminist art history, as it offers an early example of a female artist reclaiming a traditionally male-oriented biblical story to explore themes of female virtue, vulnerability, and resistance. The work has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is often discussed in relation to Gentileschi's personal biography, including her experience with sexual assault and the subsequent trial that brought her private life into the public eye.

The painting is held in the collection of the Schönborn family in Pommersfelden, Germany, and remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Artemisia Gentileschi, who is regarded as one of the most accomplished painters of the seventeenth century and a trailblazer for women in the arts.
