EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Felice Ficherelli's masterpiece, "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" created around 1665. Set in the 17th century, this oil painting takes us back to a time when art was used as a medium to depict biblical stories and explore religious concepts. The image portrays Judith, a strong and determined woman who has just committed an act of great bravery. Holding a sword stained with blood, she stands triumphantly over the decapitated head of Holofernes, her enemy. Her elegant dress and exquisite jewelry contrast sharply with the gruesome scene before her. Ficherelli skillfully captures every detail - from Judith's piercing gaze to the intricate design of her necklace - bringing this powerful moment to life on canvas. The use of color adds depth and intensity to the composition, emphasizing both the beauty and horror within this biblical tale. As we contemplate this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art center or gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are reminded of Ficherelli's talent for storytelling through his brushstrokes. This painting not only highlights Judith's occupation as a murderess but also explores themes such as war, warfare, crime, justice, and religion. "Felice Ficherelli: Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is more than just an oil painting; it is a testament to women's strength throughout history and their ability to shape destinies even in times dominated by men.
