Judith Slaying Holofernes
Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes, 1620–1621, Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy “The use of light and shadow plays an important role in this powerful portrayal of murder. Artemisia Gentileschi uses chiaroscuro to great effect as she depicts the moment when Judith, a widow, murders the general Holofernes, who is about to destroy the city of Bethulia.
“Many artists have depicted this particular murder on canvas, but it takes a woman to show the brutality in the most realistic way. The maid helps hold his head down however it is Judith who uses her powerful forearms to decapitate the hated general. Blood pours across the sheets and off the edge of the bed but neither woman flinches from this brutal act.
“Artemisia Gentileschi had been through a rape case herself, the details of which, unfortunately, often overshadows her work.”
