The Most Mysterious Secrets Hidden in World Famous Paintings

Susanna and the Elders

Wikipedia

Artemisia Gentileschi’s 1610 painting “Susanna and the Elders,” has Susanna in the batch looking very uncomfortable as two men gawk over her. The painting is based on a scene from the Book of Daniel where Susanna refuses the requests of these two men, and they retaliate by ruining her reputation. Fortunately, a man named Daniel shows up and clears her good name.
