EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white etching, titled "Judith," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Italian artist Parmigianino (1503-1540), also known as Francesco Mazzola or Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola. Hailing from the Sixteenth Century, this artwork is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance period. The image depicts the biblical story of Judith, a beautiful and virtuous widow from the Old Testament, who saved her city of Bethulia from the invading Assyrian army. In this rendition, Judith is shown standing triumphantly over the lifeless body of Holofernes, the Assyrian general, whom she had seduced and beheaded. The etching is a monochrome representation of the scene, with the stark contrast between the white robes of Judith and the black blade of the sword she holds, adding to the dramatic effect. The intricate details of the etching, from the textures of the fabric to the expressions on the faces of the characters, showcase Parmigianino's exceptional skill as an artist. This etching is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its historical and religious significance make it a must-have for art enthusiasts, scholars, and institutions. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
