Two versions of Judith and her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes by father and daughter Orazio Gentileschi and Artemisia Gentileschi. The Orazio’s version was painted around 1608 to 1612, most likely with the assistance of Artemisia, while Artemisia’s own version was painted around 1639 to 1640. Both are on display in the same room at the Nasjonalmuseet (Oslo, Norway).
The subject matter follows the biblical story also featured in one of Artemisia’s most iconic work, Judith Beheading Holofernes (1620) on display at the Uffizi Gallery (Florence, Italy).
While I personally prefer the crispness of Orazio’s version, I think Artemisia’s version offers a greater opportunity for emotional investment. Notice that in Artemisia’s painting Judith is still grasping Holofernes’ hair. Notice the confidence in her pose with the sword resting on her shoulder. If you have read about the history behind Artemisia’s Judith Beheading Holofernes, I daresay it’s impossible not to feel the impact of this visual continuation of the story. I feel very lucky to have seen these paintings in person.
