"Apocrypha: Unveiling the Hidden Stories through Art" In Raphael and Tobias, 1507-8 (oil on panel), we witness the bond between a young man and an angelic figure, transcending earthly boundaries. Asmodeus, the biblical demon of anger and lust (Tobit, 3:8), is vividly depicted in a wood engraving from the 19th century French collection. The tale of Tobias continues with Tobias and the Angel, c. 1530 (oil on canvas), capturing their extraordinary journey. The Hours of Louis d Orleans reveals gruesome scenes as Assyrian troops behold the head of Holofernes impaled on a pike in Ms Lat. Q. v. I. 126 f. 49v (vellum). Judith's bravery shines through in Ms Lat. Q. v. I. 126 f. 47 as she triumphantly holds Holofernes' severed head high above her own. Delving deeper into religious narratives, we encounter the Harrowing of Hell from Illustrated Vita Christi Ms 101 fol. 82v, c1190-1200 (tempera, gold and ink on parchment). This mesmerizing artwork depicts Christ's descent into hell to liberate souls trapped by sin. The captivating details within Judith and Holofernes paintings offer glimpses into this legendary story's complexity - from servants holding bags for heads to generals' hands commanding power over life and death. Finally, Judith II (Salome) in 1909 portrays another interpretation of this iconic character with oil on canvas brushstrokes that evoke both strength and vulnerability. These artworks not only showcase artistic mastery but also shed light on lesser-known tales found within apocryphal texts – stories often excluded from official canons but still cherished for their profound impact on faith traditions throughout history.
