Judith Beheading Holofernes
The account of the beheading of Holofernes by Judith is given in the deuterocanonical ''Book of Judith'', and is the subject of many paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In the story, Judith, a beautiful widow, is able to enter the tent of Holofernes because of his desire for her. Holofernes was an Assyrian general who was about to destroy Judith's home, the city of Bethulia. Overcome with drink, he passes out and is decapitated by Judith; his head is taken away in a basket (often depicted as being carried by an elderly female servant). Artists have mainly chosen one of two possible scenes (with or without the servant): the decapitation, with Holofernes supine on the bed, or the heroine holding or carrying the head, often assisted by her maid. In European art, Judith is very often accompanied by her maid at her shoulder, which helps to distinguish her from Salome, who also carries her victim's head on a silver charger (plate). However, a Northern tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Judith Slaying Holofernes (Artemisia Gentileschi, Florence)
''Judith Slaying Holofernes'' is a 1620–1621 painting by Artemisia Gentileschi, now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Like her earlier version of the work, Judith is thought to be a self-portrait. This connection may relate to Artemisia's sexual assault at the hands of her father's colleague, Agostino Tassi. When Artemisia was 17, her neighbor—an older woman named Tuzia—let Tassi into Artemisia’s home through an adjoining door. There, he raped her, while Artemisia called out for help. Artemisia’s father, Orazio Gentileschi, sued Tassi for taking his only daughter’s virginity. During the trial, Artemisia recounted the altercation with Tassi and her effort to defend herself, stating: "After he had done his business he got off me. When I saw myself free, I went to the table drawer and took a knife and moved toward Agostino, saying, 'I'd like to kill you with this knife because you have dishonored me.'" Artemisia painted an earlier version of ''Judith and Holofernes'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Judith Of Bethulia
''Judith of Bethulia'' (1914) is an American film starring Blanche Sweet and Henry B. Walthall, and produced and directed by D. W. Griffith, based on the play "Judith and the Holofernes" (1896) by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, which itself was an adaptation of the Book of Judith. The film was the first feature-length film made by pioneering film company Biograph, although the second that Biograph released. Shortly after its completion and a disagreement Griffith had with Biograph executives on making more future feature-length films, Griffith left Biograph, and took the entire stock company with him. Biograph delayed the picture's release until 1914, after Griffith's departure, so that it would not have to pay him in a profit-sharing agreement they had. Synopsis The film is based on the deuterocanonical Book of Judith. During the siege of the Jewish city of Bethulia by the Assyrians, a widow named Judith (Blanche Sweet) has a plan to stop the war as her people suffer starvation an ...

Judith And The Head Of Holofernes
''Judith and the Head of Holofernes'' (also known as ''Judith I'', German: ''Judith und Holofernes'') is an oil painting by Gustav Klimt, painted in 1901. It depicts the biblical figure Judith holding the head of Holofernes after beheading him. The beheading and its aftermath have been commonly portrayed in art since the Renaissance, and Klimt himself would paint a second work depicting the subject in 1909. Context and influences When Klimt addressed the biblical theme of Judith, the historical course of art had already codified its main interpretation and preferred representation. Many paintings exist describing the episode in a heroic manner, especially expressing Judith's courage and virtuous nature. Judith appears as God's instrument of salvation, but the violence of her action cannot be denied and is dramatically shown in Caravaggio's rendering, as well as those of Gentileschi and Bigot. Other representations have depicted the subsequent moment, when a dazed Judith hold ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Judith And Holofernes (Goya)
''Judith and Holofernes'' is the name given to one of the 14 ''Black Paintings'' painted by Francisco de Goya between 1819 and 1823. By this time, Goya was in his mid 70s and deeply disillusioned. In mental and physical despair, he painted the private works on the interior walls of his home—applying oils directly on plaster—known as the Quinta del Sordo ("The House of the Deaf Man"), which he had purchased in 1819. ''Judith and Holofernes'' was likely painted on the first floor, beside ''Saturn Devouring His Son''. The picture is a personal reinterpretation of the narrative of the Book of Judith, in which the protagonist saves Israel from the assault of the general Holofernes by seducing and beheading him. Judith is the only historical figure who can be identified with certainty among the ''Black Paintings''. ''Judith and Holofernes'' palette consists of blacks, ochres and red applied with very free, broad and energetic brushstrokes. The lighting is both focused and highly ...

Tra Roma, Napoli e Malta'', Naples, Electa, 1999 (Italian), ISBN 978-8851001292 History The canvas is mentioned for the first time in the last will of the Calabrian lawyer Domenico di Somma, dated of 1659, where another work by Preti, the ''St John the Baptist'' is also named. The legacy of di Somma passed to his collaborator and friend, also from Calabria, Antonino Laratta. Both of them were Preti lawyers during the controversy that the painter had a few years earlier against the priests of the Church of Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome, for a diatribe relating to fees due for the cycles of frescoes that Preti executed on the life of Saint Andrew. On the death of Laratta, in 1685, the painting, together with that of St. John the Baptist, passed to the Church of San Domenico Soriano ...

Judith Slaying Holofernes (Artemisia Gentileschi, Naples)
''Judith Slaying Holofernes'' is a painting by the Italian early Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, completed in 1612-13 and now at the Museo Capodimonte, Naples, Italy. The picture is considered one of her iconic works. The canvas shows Judith beheading Holofernes. The subject takes an episode from the apocryphal Book of Judith in the Old Testament, which recounts the assassination of the Assyrian general Holofernes by the Israelite heroine Judith. The painting shows the moment when Judith, helped by her maidservant Abra, beheads the general after he has fallen asleep in a drunken stupor. She painted a second version now in the Uffizi, Florence, somewhere between 1613 and 1621. Early feminist critics interpreted the painting as a form of visual revenge following Gentileschi's rape by Agostino Tassi in 1611; similarly many other art historians see the painting in the context of her achievement in portraying strong women.
