About Judith Beheading Holofernes Caravaggio
Judith Beheading Holofernes tells the story Biblical story of Judith. Caravaggio was certainly aware of Judith's traditional identity as a symbol of triumph over tyranny but he presented the subject primarily as a melodrama, choosing the relatively rarely represented climactic moment of the actual beheading of Holofernes. Judith, young, beautiful, and physically weak, draws back distastefully as she seizes Holofernes's hair and cleaves through his neck with his own sword. Caravaggio intensifies the body language not only in the poses, gestures, and facial expressions but also in the clenched hands. Drama has displaced the charm of his earlier epicurean paintings, as if the world had ceased to be his oyster and become a battlefield. About the Large Art Prints
