Judith Slaying Holofernes | Artemisia Gentileschi | 1612-13 Frame Options:Gallery Canvas is a striking and intricateAbout the artwork: Artemisia Gentileschis Judith Slaying Holofernes (161213) is an unflinching portrayal of violence and power, capturing the exact moment Judith and her maid pin down the Assyrian general and sever his head with brutal force. Unlike more idealized versions of the story, Gentileschi presents the act with stark realism: Judiths arms strain with effort, Holofernes thrashes in desperation, and blood gushes vividly across the canvas.
