This artist painted numerous iterations ofthe story of Judith. The dramatic lighting and subjects popping in brilliant color from a black background owes its inspiration to Caravaggio. Judith is dressed in fine clothing of scarlet and gold due to the text describing her putting on her finest garments and ornaments to make herself beautiful. She also wears a pearl-drop earring. This painting shows Judith and hermaid placing the head of Holofernes in a food bag, while listening for guards so they can escape the tent safely. Arranging subjects triangularly is an artistic motif that creates depth, visual symmetry, and symbolically can evoke thought of the Trinity. You can follow the triangle shape from the maid’s head to Judith’s shoulder, and along the path of the sword.
