The Bible tells the story of Judith, a young widow who saves her people by decapitating the sleeping general Holofornes as he is about to lay siege to her city. This catalog presents two interpretations of this story: one by Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi and the other by contemporary American artist Kehinde Wiley.
