  • @ohjujubeeme she looks more determined in gentileschi's peice......she looks kinda grossed out and unsure in this one...

  • @ohjujubeeme i totally agree....didnt know it was the same artist until after i posted my comment..

  • another great depiction.....judith and holofernes by Gentileschi.....its amazing

  • Love this work, but in my opinion "Judith Slaying Holofernes" by Artemesia Gentileschi is much better. If any of you are yet to see it, you should definitely check it out. The blood is depicted with far more reality, and the richness of the dress palates are unbelievable. Not at all saying Gentileschi was better than the Great Awesomeness that was Caravaggio, just that Gentileschi seemed to handle that particular topic with a bit more passion.

  • Love the painting

    its just....she sliced his head like piece of bread

  • Oh, dear.  He is still much too rare. Going to have to roast for at least another hour. How will I keep the guests entertained in the meantime?

  • The Music is Captain Digerie piper's Galliard by John Dowland.

  • He was a Babylonian General and she was a Jewish leader. They were at war so she snuck into his tent when he was drunk and beheaded him with his own sword. She stuck his head on the battlements and his men were too scared to fight :)

  • how erotic this is can just imagine that happening to me and if you behaved well never would have happened

  • Judith is a book in the Greek canon (the Septuagint) of the old testament. It can be found online at the University of Virginia and I'm sure at other places too. The original issues of the King James (1611) edition carried the book and the modern translations of the Latin Vulgate also have this book.
