"The Bathing Susanna" (1560-62) is a notable work by the Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto, also known as Jacopo Robusti, who was a prominent figure of the Italian Renaissance. This painting is an interpretation of the biblical story of Susanna and the Elders, a narrative from the Book of Daniel, which was a popular subject for artists during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Tintoretto's rendition is celebrated for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that would come to be known as tenebrism, and for its dynamic composition that reflects the artist's innovative approach to storytelling through art.

Measuring 146.5 cm by 193.5 cm, "The Bathing Susanna" is executed in oil on canvas. The painting depicts the moment when Susanna, a virtuous young wife, is surprised at her bath by two lecherous elders who have hidden themselves to watch her. According to the biblical account, they later falsely accuse her of adultery when she rebuffs their advances. Tintoretto's work captures the tension of the encounter, with Susanna shown recoiling in shock and modesty as she becomes aware of the elders' voyeuristic gaze.

Tintoretto's mastery of composition is evident in the way he arranges the figures and the surrounding space to enhance the narrative. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, serves to focus the viewer's attention on the central figure of Susanna, while also adding a sense of depth and three-dimensionality to the scene. The artist's characteristic loose and energetic brushwork contributes to the sense of immediacy and emotional intensity that pervades the painting.

"The Bathing Susanna" is a testament to Tintoretto's ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a new sense of drama and psychological complexity. It remains an important example of the Mannerist style that was emerging during the mid-16th century, which is characterized by elongated figures, unusual perspectives, and a departure from the harmonious proportions and balance of High Renaissance art. The painting is held in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and its place within Tintoretto's oeuvre.
