wikipedia - 10 Jun 2022Treatments in the Baroque period were more likely to emphasize the point of view of Susanna, who is uncomfortable with or objects to being watched, while others continued to concentrate on the male gaze. In 17th-century portrayals, combining Susanna's rejection of the men's advances while gazing toward heaven became common, although in the biblical passage, she doesn't cast her eyes to heaven until after they've publicly accused her of adultery.[5]: 358, 424
