We prominently witness the basics of the Anglo-Saxon culture in regards to religion throughout Judith and The Dream of the Rood. The Anglo-Saxon church believed strongly in the moral idea of martyrs. In Christian terms‚ the theory of a martyr is one who surrenders their life for Jesus Christ‚ willingly suffering death for his honor and teachings. The “rood” or old English translation of the cross where Jesus’ crucifixion took place exemplifies this theory. Christ is portrayed as a heroic warrior

I have chosen the artwork Judith Decapitating Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi in 1620. The reason I chose this painting is because of the graphic nature and the history behind the painting. The painting is 6’ 6 ⅜” x 5’ 3 ¾” oil on canvas located at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence‚ Italy.

This is clear because of the sword that Judith is holding near his neck and the blood that is painted
