"Susanna and the Elders" is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Jacopo Negretti, more commonly known as Palma Vecchio. Painted between 1515 and 1520, this artwork represents the biblical story of the virtuous Susanna who is falsely accused of adultery by two vindictive elders. The painting is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

Vecchio uses vivid depictions and attention to detail in the natural environment to accentuate the spiritual components of the story. In the painting, Susanna is situated in the foreground, symbolizing her vulnerability and innocence while the imposing figures of the lecherous elders loom behind her, with their malevolent eyes disclosing their immoral intentions. The artist has created a captivating contrast between the innocence and purity of the virtuous woman and the maliciousness of the elders using a clever interplay of light and shadow.

Values like chastity, piety, and moral courage is revealed in the figure of Susanna while deceit and lewdness are embodied by the two elders. The picture captures the dramatic climax of the narrative, revealing Vecchio's capabilities as both a storyteller, with his ability to capture the emotional intensity of a scene, and as a painter, with his exceptional use of color, spatial representation, and form.

By rendering the figures in a more naturalistic style and against a realistic backdrop, Vecchio breaks away from the pictorial norms of his time and paves the way for the seventeenth-century Baroque style. His nuanced interpretation of the theme and the complexity of the figures' emotions showcased his mastery of portraiture and narrative, making "Susanna and the Elders" a paramount example of Vecchio's contribution to High Renaissance art.
