Oil Painting KLIM14 "Judith 1"
[KLIM14]

This magnificent Klimpt painting "Judith 1" 1901 is hand painted on canvas to order. It is a museum quality reproduction of a masterpiece, completely handpainted by one of our professional artists all of whom are art school graduates. It has not been stretched and is unframed. See our frames and framing section for framing options or get it framed locally.

In the Old Testament, the Jewish widow, Judith, saved the city of Bethulia from siege by the Assyrians by adoring herself and venturing into the enemy camp to gain access to the Assyrian general, Holofernes. He invited her to a banquet intending to seduce her, and while they were alone at the feast, Judith took advantage of Holofernes' drunkenness to decapitate him, and returned to Bethulia with his head in a sack. The Jews saw Judith as a virtuous heroine, but Klimt portrays her as a Viennese femme fatale. Her expression of cruel triumph has often led to her being confused with Salome, who ordered the beheading of John the Baptist to satisfy the vengeful spirit of her mother.

The standard painting size is 24 x 20 inches (approx. 60 X 50 cm). There is extra canvas around the edges to allow for stretching. Other sizes are available (see option below). Priced as a variant to the standard size.

All of our paintings, which take weeks to complete, are signed by one of our commissioned artists from around the world. Only the best quality oil paints and canvas are used by our professional artists.
