Episode 005: Artemisia Gentelleschi



Judith Slaying Holofernes (Naples Version)



Judith Slaying Holofernes by Caravaggio
 This painting by Caravaggio is often pointed to to show the difference in approach when looked at from a man's point of view rather than a woman's.




Judith and her Maidservant
 Artemisia would often revisit the same paintings or take from different parts of a story she'd already painted.


Susanna and the Elders

Lucretia
Some other paintings by Artemisia.
