"Susannah and the Elders" is a notable illumination by the French artist Jean Colombe, created in the 15th century. Colombe, renowned for his detailed and vibrant miniatures, was active during the late Gothic period and is best known for his work on the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. This particular illumination depicts the biblical story of Susannah, a virtuous woman who is accosted by two elders while bathing. The story, from the Book of Daniel, has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing chastity and the triumph of virtue over lechery.

In Colombe's rendition, Susannah is typically shown at the moment of confrontation or during the trial that follows her false accusation of adultery by the elders. Colombe's mastery of color and detail would be evident in the depiction of the figures, their expressions, and the setting, which would reflect the artistic style and iconography of the late 1400s. The illumination would likely have been part of a larger manuscript, possibly a Book of Hours or a Bible, serving both as a devotional image and as a reflection of the moral values of the time.

While the exact location and current ownership of this specific work by Jean Colombe may not be well-documented, it would be representative of his skill in miniature painting and his contribution to the art of illumination during the French Renaissance. As with many medieval artworks, the provenance and history of "Susannah and the Elders" by Colombe could provide insight into the patronage and cultural context of the period in which it was created.
