My utmost desired characters by far were Judith and Myra their costumes were brilliantly designed. Judith played an extremely dramatic and over the top retired actress her costumes matched her theatrical attitude from gardening in a sundress to pajamas.

Artemisia won the lawsuit (Sayre 295). Not long after the trail‚ Artemisia painted five separate versions of biblical story of Judith and Holofernes. In the first version‚ Judith and Maidservant with Head of Holofernes‚ Sayre claims that Artemisia transforms her own adversity in her paintings and treats Judith as a self-portrait of herself (296). Just like the Jewish heroine Judith who seduces and beheaded the lustful leader in the enemy Assyrian camp to protect her country‚ Artemisia also seeks revenge

had positive impacts too. Women in the bible can be overlooked quite easily. Women have been important throughout history and it is important that they are not overlooked when looking at the Old Testament. The books in the Old Testament of Esther‚ Judith‚ Ruth‚ Deborah‚ Rebekah‚ and Rahab are examples of women who were very strong in the bible. Esther is rarely self-assured for a woman during her time. In a time where it would have been much easier to back down and be passive she was the opposite

THE DOMESTICITY OF GIRAFFES AND FOX IN A TREE STUMP SPEECH. Good morning/Afternoon class‚ in my speech I will be discussing my understanding of the poems Domesticity of Giraffes and Fox in A Tree Stump by Judith Beveridge. Moral values and meanings are portrayed through these two poems by expressing and clarifying the value of life and exploring humanity’s relationship with animals.

I think that Artemisia work have an electric sense of narrative drama‚ bringing out image that have unique perspective both celebrating and humanized strong women characters. As Judith decapitates Holofernes‚ to save the Jewish people‚ her brow is furrowed in concentration‚ Judith and her maid forearms are tensed‚ and blood spurts wildly from Holofernes neck. The startling naturalism of the scenes owes much to the influence of Caravaggio‚ Artemisia followed his technique of painting directly from
