This painting really had an impact on me the most out of the two paintings of Judith Beheading Holofernes. The painting is created with beautiful colors to design a disturbing piece. In the painting I realized the facial expressions on all three people show a completely different feeling towards the situation. The artist captures the different looks of pain, fear, pleasure, and suspense. This graphic painting is beautiful yet has so much hated trapped inside of it. I love the colors and how the artist set the lighting above them, shining down onto the tops of their shoulders and onto their attire. The body structure of Holofernes is powerful and the technique used throughout the painting made the human bodies realistically beautiful. Ive picked this same painting for a similar blog because of the effect it left on me, and the thoughts it has brought too the back of my mind about what was going through Holofernes mind, the maids mind and the murders mind. This picture truely has a thousand words and a dark story behind it. The neutral colors used throughout the painting resembles how gray this moment is and reflects the dark happenings in this painting.
