Archival print of Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes, ca. 1623-1625, by the 17th-century Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
The original oil on canvas work is in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes is one of the masterpieces executed by Artemisia Gentileschi, daughter of the painter Orazio Gentileschi and a strong woman who, against all odds, established herself as a respected painter. The subject is executed with a directness that sets it apart from many other contemporary renditions. The theatrical lighting of the scene echoes in many respects the works of the northern followers of Caravaggio, who had specialized in such effects, while the intense realism of the scene is close to Caravaggio himself.
Printed with archival-quality pigment inks on high-resolution, large-format twelve-color printers, the substrate is an acid-free and lignin-free 230gsm coated fine art paper. The bright white base color and smooth matte finish allows for the highest quality reproduction possible.
The image size is 7.5" x 9.75" and sits on an 11 x 14 white ground, allowing it to fit into our standard 11 x 14 inch frame.
