Judith Slaying Holofernes
Gentileschi's violent masterpiece depicts the biblical heroine Judith beheading the Assyrian general. The work is intensely dramatic with Caravaggesque lighting and brutal realism. As a female artist and rape survivor, Gentileschi brings fierce psychological intensity to themes of female power, violence, and justice. The painting challenges gender roles and celebrates women's agency and strength.
