131 x 96 cm Neue Pinakothek, Munich The Judith of this painting is powerful and strong, but even after her murderous deed a touch of gentleness remains in her eyes. In the painting we see the tendency to psychological interpretation that was to become a feature of 19th-century art. The artist seeks to convey the message of the Biblical story in Judith's facial expression, making this the overall statement. Artist: RIEDEL, August Title: Judith , painting Date: 1801-1850 German : mythological |
