EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic biblical scene of Judit holding the severed head of Holofernes, with a sword firmly grasped in her hands. The intense emotions are palpable as Judit stands triumphant over her vanquished foe. A maidservant stands by, ready to collect the gruesome trophy and place it into a bag, perhaps serving as a witness to this powerful act of retribution. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is Hieronymus Wierix, whose skillful craftsmanship brings every detail to life. Created in 1566 on paper, this piece captures the raw intensity and drama of one of history's most famous tales. Judit's bravery and determination shine through as she takes matters into her own hands, using Holofernes' own sword to behead him. This act symbolizes not only her strength but also serves as an empowering reminder that justice can prevail against all odds. Wierix masterfully portrays each character's expressions, allowing us to feel their emotions deeply. The composition draws our attention directly towards Judit and Holofernes while highlighting their contrasting roles in this pivotal moment. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from the Liszt Collection, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless power and significance. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal struggle for justice and reminds us that even in darkness, there is always hope for redemption.
