"Susanna e i due vecchi" (1884) is a notable painting by the Italian artist Giacomo Favretto. The work depicts the biblical story of Susanna, a virtuous woman who is accosted by two elders while bathing. The narrative, derived from the Book of Daniel, has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing themes of virtue, lust, and the abuse of power. Favretto's interpretation of the tale is set against the backdrop of the Venetian society of his time, reflecting his penchant for genre scenes infused with historical or literary references.

Born in Venice in 1849, Favretto was known for his vibrant and light-filled scenes of Venetian life, often capturing the everyday activities of its inhabitants with a touch of humor and social commentary. "Susanna e i due vecchi" stands out in his oeuvre as a work that combines his characteristic lively brushwork and attention to detail with a more serious and dramatic subject matter.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Favretto to achieve rich textures and subtle gradations of color. His use of light and shadow in the composition serves to highlight the innocence of Susanna and the duplicity of the elders, creating a moral contrast that is central to the story. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was influenced by Favretto's study of 16th-century Venetian masters, as well as by the contemporary realist movements.

"Susanna e i due vecchi" was well-received in its time and contributed to Favretto's reputation as one of the leading Venetian painters of the late 19th century. Today, the painting is appreciated not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural significance, offering insight into the social dynamics and artistic preoccupations of Favretto's era. It remains an important work within the canon of Italian art history and continues to be studied for its narrative complexity and technical mastery.
