Painting Judith with the head of Holofernes brought out the best in many painters, not least Lucas Cranach.

She was even more excited when she saw Caravaggio’s Judith beheading Holofernes. Like. I think her husband is a teensy concerned.

I can usually detect what was supposed to be funny, and I'm really at a loss here. Revenge-murder for her success? The power of wealth? The misogyny of rich people? Kathy Griffith was canceled for making an art history joke, though she was making very good point en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_...

Anyway.

Happy Every Day is Indigenous People's Day.

For NYers who desperately want to celebrate an Italian who never set foot in North America, I suggest changing Columbus Circle to Artemesia Gentileshci Circle, complete with a new statue in direct conversation with the eponymous rapist tower.

Judith Leaving the Tent of Holofernes https://www.wikiart.org/en/sandro-botticelli/judith-leaving-the-tent-of-holofernes-1500
"Judith Leaving the Tent of Holofernes" by Sandro Botticelli depicts the biblical heroine Judith, confidently striding forward holding Holofernes' sword. The scene captures a moment of triumph against a richly draped backdrop, highlighting Botticelli's skill in portraying both narrative intensity and detailed textile textures.

Probably one of the Judith beheading Holofernes paintings and install it at a local Women's Aid office.

Good evening.

How I envisioned retirement.

How it's going. That's not The Mr. in #2 to be clear.
The Flute Lesson and The Grape Eaters, 1757-66 porcelain Sèvres Porcelain Factory, Sèvres, France, founded 1756 St. Louis Art Museum Judith and Holofernes c.b1554 Giorgio Vasari, Italian, 1511–1574 Oil on panel 42 1/2 x 31 3/8 in. (108 x 79.7 cm) This biblical heroine’s strong arms and angled shoulders create lively diagonal lines that enhance her exaggerated musculature. Judith came to the rescue when General Holofernes and the Assyrian army laid siege to her city of Bethulia. Boldly infiltrating the Assyrian camp, Judith dined with Holofernes and, once he was drunk, she beheaded him with the help of her maid Abra. Using a pose copied from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, Giorgio Vasari portrayed Judith as a physically powerful woman, a visible indication of her inner courage St. Louis Art Museum

@morgangd.com and I went to see an exhibition of Artemisia at the national gallery a couple of years back, and they had two versions of Judith Slaying Holofernes next to each other. The PG one was pretty powerful, but the extra gory X-rated one was out of this world.

Artemisia Gentileschi's goriest version of Judith Slaying Holofernes, because it's awesome.

I would stare at it reverently every day (looooong description in alt text).
Judith is cutting off Holofernes' head with a look of almost detached concentration. She isn't emotional about this, she wants to get it right. Holofernes is being held down by Judith's maidservant as he flails, futilely, at the large and impressive knife. He has absolutely no hope of surviving this, and you can see it in his eyes. There is blood soaked into the sheets, flowing freely to the floor, and an arterial spurt is just about to hit Judith in the tits. Wes Craven would be in awe.
