"Susanna and the Elders" is a Baroque-era painting by Italian artist Pietro Paolini, also known as il Lucchese (1603–1681). The work is based on a biblical episode from the Book of Daniel, which recounts the story of Susanna, a virtuous young wife who is accosted by two lecherous elders while bathing. When she rejects their advances, they falsely accuse her of adultery, but she is eventually vindicated by the young prophet Daniel.

Paolini's interpretation of this popular theme, which has been depicted by numerous artists throughout art history, is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its psychological insight into the characters. The painting typically shows Susanna in a moment of distress or contemplation, often unaware of the elders' presence, which adds a voyeuristic element to the scene. Paolini's version is distinguished by his attention to detail, the richness of the color palette, and the masterful rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics to the reflective qualities of water.

While the exact date of creation for Paolini's "Susanna and the Elders" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to his mature period, when he had fully developed his style after being influenced by Caravaggio's naturalism and the Bolognese school's classicism. The painting is an example of the Baroque interest in narrative and the exploration of complex human emotions.

The work is significant in Paolini's oeuvre as it exemplifies his skill in combining the Caravaggesque chiaroscuro technique with a more delicate and refined approach to composition and form. "Susanna and the Elders" by Pietro Paolini is a testament to the enduring appeal of this biblical story and the artist's ability to reinterpret it in a manner that resonates with the sensibilities of the 17th century while maintaining relevance through its universal themes of virtue, power, and innocence.
