This painting ‘Susannah at her Bath’ combines two of Francesco Hayez‘s favourite subject matters: an Old Testament story and a voluptuous female nude.
Hayez does not include the figures of the old men watching Susannah. Their presence is nonetheless palpable: startled by prying eyes, Susannah looks back, as if confronting the voyeuristic viewer with an accusing glance.
The story comes from the Apocryphal Book of Daniel (Chapter 13). As the virtuous Susannah bathes in her garden, she is approached by two corrupt elders who, lusting after her, threaten to accuse her of adultery if she does not give into them.
She refuses and is falsely accused by them, but her innocence is proved, preventing her from being stoned.
