The Story of Susanna: The Trial and Stoning of the Elders, c1500. This painting is from a series of four illustrating a series of critical events in the life of the biblical figure Susanna from the Book of Daniel. The first panel in the series, now at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, shows the beautiful Susanna confronted by two community elders while bathing in her private garden. The elders told Susanna that they would accuse her of adultery unless she submitted to their sexual advances. When Susanna refused, the two men brought her to trial. In the present pane - the fourth and last in the series - Daniel is shown vindicating Susanna after a thorough questioning of the elders and their subsequent execution by stoning.
