"Suzanna en de ouderlingen" (Susanna and the Elders) is a painting by the Flemish artist Jan Matsys, created in 1563. Matsys, a notable figure of the Antwerp Mannerists, was known for his detailed and expressive compositions. This artwork is a representation of the biblical story of Susanna, a virtuous woman who is falsely accused of adultery by two elders after she refuses their advances.

The painting captures the dramatic moment when Susanna is confronted by the elders while she is bathing. Matsys employs a rich color palette and intricate detailing to convey the tension and emotional intensity of the scene. The figures are rendered with a keen attention to anatomy and expression, characteristic of the Mannerist style, which often emphasized elegance and complexity.

In the composition, Susanna is depicted in the foreground, her body partially draped, highlighting her vulnerability and innocence. The elders, positioned to her side, are portrayed with leering expressions, emphasizing their sinister intentions. The background features a lush garden, adding to the painting's depth and providing a contrast to the central figures.

Matsys' work is notable for its blend of Northern Renaissance detail with the elongated forms typical of Mannerism. This painting not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also his ability to convey narrative through visual means. The story of Susanna was a popular subject in art, symbolizing themes of virtue, justice, and the triumph of innocence over corruption.

"Suzanna en de ouderlingen" is housed in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands. It remains an important example of 16th-century Flemish painting, showcasing Matsys' contribution to the artistic developments of his time. The painting continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its interpretation of a timeless biblical narrative.
