EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, titled "Judith standing on a ledge holding the head of Holofernes in her left hand and a sword in her right," is an anonymous masterpiece from the Italian school. The black and white etching depicts the biblical character Judith, a brave and beautiful widow from the Old Testament, as she triumphantly stands on a ledge after beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. With a determined expression on her face and a sense of victory in her posture, Judith holds the decapitated head of her enemy in one hand and brandishes a blade in the other. The scene is reminiscent of the Book of Judith, a popular religious text in Christianity, which recounts the heroic tale of Judith's courage and devotion. This powerful and historic artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of the Bible on art and literature. The print is currently on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, adding to the vast collection of art and historical treasures housed in this esteemed institution.
