About this work

Artist: Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1656)
Year: c. 1620
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 146.5 × 108 cm
Collection: Uffizi Gallery, Florence
Movement: Baroque

Judith drives the sword through the neck of the drunken Assyrian general Holofernes while her maid Abra pins him to the bed, both women with sleeves rolled up and faces set, as blood arcs across the white sheets and spatters Judith's breast. Artemisia Gentileschi painted this second, larger treatment of the subject around 1620 in Rome, where she had returned after seven years in Florence and could study Caravaggio again; her first version, from about 1612, is in Naples. It was made for Grand Duke Cosimo II de' Medici, who died in 1621, and its violence so unsettled the Florentine court that it was kept out of the gallery; Artemisia had to call on her friend Galileo Galilei to extract the payment she had been promised. Today it is one of the most visited pictures in the Uffizi in Florence and the work most closely identified with her name.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Judith Slaying Holofernes in the public domain?

Yes. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593–1656) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Uffizi Gallery.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Judith Slaying Holofernes painted, and in what medium?

Judith Slaying Holofernes dates from c. 1620 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 146.5 × 108 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
