About the piece

This dramatic 17th-century work is a celebrated collaboration between the father-daughter duo Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi. Capturing a pivotal moment from the biblical narrative, it uses stark chiaroscuro to highlight the rich fabrics and focused expressions of Judith and her servant, creating a piece that is as emotionally resonant as it is technically brilliant.
