About the piece

Painted in 1610, this seminal work by Artemisia Gentileschi is renowned for its psychological depth and masterful handling of light. Unlike many other depictions of this biblical scene, Gentileschi focuses on Susanna's palpable distress and vulnerability as she recoils from the looming figures of the two elders.
