Of the two paintings of Judith Beheading Holofernes, I favor the one done by Artemisia Gentileschi for several reasons. She captures more detail of the struggle by Holofernes in her painting compared to Caravaggio. I like the detail in how Judith is depicted and another women helping. Caravaggio's just shows Judith doing the hard work. The detail in strength being emphasized in this task are painted with such simplicity. The little detail in colors and body proportions caught my attention with this version.
