"Susannah and the Elders" is a notable oil painting by Jan Massys (also spelled Matsys), a Flemish Renaissance artist and the son of the prominent painter Quentin Massys. Created in 1567, this work is an interpretation of the biblical story of Susannah, a virtuous young wife who is accosted by two lecherous elders while bathing. The narrative, derived from the Book of Daniel, has been a popular subject for artists, allowing them to explore themes of virtue, vice, and voyeurism.

In Massys' rendition, Susannah is depicted at the moment of confrontation, with the elders lurking in the background. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the sensual portrayal of Susannah, which reflects the Northern Renaissance's fascination with humanism and the natural world. Massys' work is distinguished by its blend of religious narrative with a palpable sense of eroticism, a duality that was not uncommon in the art of the period.

"Susannah and the Elders" by Jan Massys is housed in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the cultural and moralistic attitudes of the 16th century, as well as showcasing the technical skill and stylistic evolution of the Massys family's artistic legacy. As with many of his contemporaries, Jan Massys' work reflects the complex interplay between piety and humanism that defined the era's intellectual and artistic pursuits.
