Queen Margaret's act of placing a paper crown on the Duke of York's head signifies not only victory but also the brutal reality of war during the 15th century. Brown's artwork transports us back to this tumultuous era. The Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride forth with their terrifying presence, reminding us that death can come swiftly and without mercy. Valentin de Boulogne captures Judith's bravery as she holds Holofernes' severed head, showcasing both her strength and determination. Domenico Fetti brings David's triumph over Goliath to life through his depiction of David clutching the giant's decapitated head – a powerful symbol of overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. Nicanor meets his demise after being defeated by Judas Maccabaeus, highlighting the consequences faced by those who oppose righteousness. Death in French Sudan serves as a stark reminder that violence knows no boundaries or borders. Salome gazes upon John the Baptist’s severed head with an eerie fascination – an image that continues to intrigue audiences centuries later. Richard Lionheart’s ruthless execution further exposes humanity’s capacity for brutality during times of conflict.
