About the piece

This 1640 oil painting by Lorenzo Lippi depicts the biblical story of Judith, captured with the dramatic chiaroscuro and rich color characteristic of the Florentine Baroque. The vibrant blue of her gown and the deep red of her cloak contrast sharply against the dark, atmospheric background, highlighting Lippi's mastery of fabric and form.
