Giorgione's Juliet
No Expiration
Naples Adventurer's Guild
Have you seen Judith of the Old Testament as drawn by Giogione? It is a painting typical of the style of Giorgione, rich with colour and warmth, but apparently it leaves a feeling of discomfort in all who see it. I would like you to find out why. Go talk to the town craftsman.

Search 1. Unique Giorgione perspective
Most artists painting Judith in recent years choose the scene from the end of her story, where she beheads Holofernes, and they therefore go for an emotionally charged scene. That's where Giorgione is diffferent. He portrays Judith in a sympathetic light, almost upset at having beheaded the enemy general.
2. An uncomfortable depiction
Giorgione obviously sought to depict the circumstances in Judith's heart rather than the visceral scene itself. Bright colours and a beautiful woman with downcast eyes doesn't really fit with the fact she has her foot on a severed head, and that's why you look at the work. It is currently in the house of the head of state in Venice.
3. A unique depiction
Giorgione's painting of Judith does not revel in the goriness of the scene, but rather seeks to show the state of Judith's own mind. The bright colours and Judith's expression seem at odds with the act she has obviously just committed, stamping this work with the unique Giorgione perspective. The painting is currently in the house of the head of state in Venice.

- Judith ★★★ (Work of art) Exp:539 Fame:245
A painting by Giorgione. He used the Book of Judith from the Old Testament as his subject. In her right hand is a sword, and at her feet is the head of the enemy leader Holophernes. There is no feel of presence from Judith's facial expression, colours or touch, but there is a feeling of holiness and solemnity projected.
