Susanna and the Elders is a painting by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens from 1607. It is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy. There is another version, a youthful work from 1608, in Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, in Madrid.
The painting is based on the story of Susanna, found in a deuterocanonical chapter of the biblical Book of Daniel. [1]
