EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Judith with her maidservant" painted by the renowned artist Domenico Ghirlandaio in 1489. The artwork, now housed in the esteemed collection of Staatliche Museen in Berlin, transports viewers to a scene filled with intrigue and power. In this Renaissance painting, Judith takes center stage as she stands alongside her loyal maidservant. Clad in exquisite garments that reflect her status as a heroine, Judith exudes confidence and determination. This biblical legend unfolds before our eyes as we witness her courageous act of beheading Holofernes, an Assyrian general who threatened Israelite lands. Ghirlandaio's attention to detail is evident through his masterful brushstrokes and use of vibrant colors. The composition draws us into the narrative, capturing both the gracefulness of dance and the intensity of defence. Through this work, Ghirlandaio skillfully merges mythology with religious themes from both the Old Testament and New Testament. The painting also alludes to another significant biblical figure: Saint John the Baptist. As daughter-in-law to Herodias and stepdaughter to Herod Antipas, Salome plays a pivotal role in his demise by requesting his head on a platter. This fine art image not only exemplifies Florentine school aesthetics but also serves as a testament to Ghirlandaio's artistic prowess. It invites us into an era where storytelling through visual representation was highly valued
