About the piece

Collaboratively painted by Artemisia Gentileschi and Domenico Gargiulo in 1649, this work exemplifies the intensity of the Baroque era. The composition focuses on the biblical figure of Susanna, using masterful chiaroscuro to emphasize her psychological state as she is accosted by the elders, set against a dark, atmospheric background.
