About the piece
Painted around 1650, this striking work by Gerard Seghers exemplifies the dramatic chiaroscuro of the Baroque era. The scene depicts the biblical heroine Judith and her servant concealing the head of Holofernes, with the flickering candle creating deep shadows and luminous highlights that emphasize the emotional gravity of the moment.
