Judith lives in Bethulia, a city besieged by<br \/>Holofernes. While the city is exhausted, ready to surrender to the enemy, Judith, a young widow of great beauty,\u00a0<br \/>decides to seduce General Holofernes. He organizes a banquet in his honor. At the end of the<br \/>evening, he falls asleep drunk in his room. Judith then kills him with two sword strokes.<\/p><p>&quot;In the evening, his servants hastened to leave each home, and Vagao closed the doors of the room and departed. All were asleep with the wine they had drunk. And Judith was alone in the room. Holofernes was lying in his bed all overloaded with sleep by the excess of wine. And Judith commanded her servant to stand outside the door of the chamber, and to watch there. Praying with tears, and stirring her lips in silence, she says, &quot;\u00a0<em>Lord God of Israel, strengthen me, and see you<\/em><br \/><em> favorable at this moment that my hand will do so that you will meet, according to your promise, your city of Jerusalem, and that I finish what I thought I could do by your assistance<\/em>\u00a0&quot;. Having spoken thus, she approached the column which was at the bedside, and untied her saber which was attached to it. Then, taking it from the scabbard, she took Holofernes by the hair of her head and said:\u00a0<em>Lord God, strengthen me at this time<\/em>\u00a0&quot;. She then struck him on the neck twice, cut off his head; and having drawn a curtain out of the pillars, she threw down her dead body.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3152\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3152\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Characters<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3152\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3152\"><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><ul><li>Holofernes, lieutenant of the immense army of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who besieges Bethulia in Samaria.<\/li><li>Judith, literally &quot;the Jewess&quot;.<\/li><li>Abba, the maid of Judith.<\/li><\/ul><div><figure id=\"attachment_42253\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42253\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42253 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/J-H-Naples-et-Toulouse-800x340.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/J-H-Naples-et-Toulouse-800x340.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/J-H-Naples-et-Toulouse-768x326.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/J-H-Naples-et-Toulouse-600x255.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/J-H-Naples-et-Toulouse.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42253\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ill.

Order of Ottavio COSTA.<\/li><li>Judith and Holofernes, version of Naples. Until now known by a copy, recognized as such, attributed to the painter Louis Finson (1580 - 1617).<\/li><\/ul><p>In both versions, horror increased by:<\/p><ul><li>the confinement of the scene<\/li><li>the disproportion between frail Judith and the gigantic Holofernes<\/li><li>the hideous and grimacing maid<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>The choice of the moment.<\/strong><\/p><p>In both versions, the choice of the moment breaks with the tradition, which consisted rather in recounting the preliminary of the murder when, during the banquet, Holofernes was seduced by Judith. Here is shown the now infigurable and central moment, the sword stroke being given, the blade midway, in the middle of the neck, the head that begins to separate from the body, pulled back by the hair that Judith&#039;s hand grips and the blood streams.<\/p><p>Unique moment, decisive, mortal, without past, without future: timeless. Judith will never stop cutting off Holofernes&#039; head.<\/p><p>The table discovered in Toulouse is admirable both for its technical and aesthetic qualities. Confronted with the painting of Judith and Holofernes kept in Rome but also to the copy made by Louis Finson after an original Caravaggio, kept in Naples, it becomes very complicated to say that this painting can be in another hand than from that of Caravaggio.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

In response to Protestantism, the Counter-Reformation wants to extend the practice of Catholic worship to a wider range of people. Artists are responsible for designing their work from a &quot;propaganda&quot; perspective by making religious art accessible to ordinary people. Images become &quot;instruments for uniting men to God&quot;. The taste of Caravaggio&#039;s realism coincides with this desire to pay more attention to the most modest, and to reconcile devotion and communication.<\/p><p>The sponsors of works: priests, nobles or all honored persons who wish to beautify churches or persons practiced in the field of letters and studies.<\/p><p>Caravaggio will deal mainly with sacred subjects. The nature of the work entrusted to him was often intended for places of worship, but always financed by private persons. He revolutionized religious art by his very realistic approach, human and daily representation of biblical texts that could also shock the reformers. Thus, the painting The Death of the Virgin, painted with the main model the corpse of a drowned prostitute was refused by the clergy of the Church of Santa Maria della Scala in Rome.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_42318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42318\" style=\"width: 453px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42318 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_-_La_Morte_della_Vergine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_-_La_Morte_della_Vergine.jpg 453w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_-_La_Morte_della_Vergine-331x500.jpg 331w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Death of the Virgin, circa 1605-1606, Louvre Museum, Paris.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4612\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4612\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Artistic context<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4612\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4612\"><p>In Italy, especially in Rome, it is the time when the <strong>mannerism<\/strong> It is a must for religious buildings with artists such as Girolamo MUZIANO (1532 - 1592), Federico BAROCCI (1528 - 1612) and Federico ZUCCARI (1539 - 1609).<\/p><p>Annibal Carrache (1560-1609), working with his brothers, Ludovico and Agostino, academic painter par excellence, advocates a painting based on the ancient models and the <strong>looking for the beautiful ideal<\/strong>.

The characters of the Old and New Testament or of Greek antiquity thus become human beings going about their daily and &quot;terrestrial&quot; occupations. The sacred event is &quot;secularized&quot;, re-established in its daily life in order to be recounted as it could have been perceived by its contemporaries, without reducing its spiritual dimension. Conversely, Caravaggio&#039;s painting can be seen as a metamorphosis of everyday life into a sacred dimension.<\/p><p>Caravaggio&#039;s touch, fast, is nonetheless smooth and precise, making it possible to account for the density of painted objects. Shadows shape volumes. When Caravaggio painted &quot;Bacchus&quot; preserved in the Uffizi (Ill. 1), he manages to restore both the transparency of the glass, its density: looking at it, we feel the lightness and fragility of this object.<\/p><p>Caravaggio also knows how to distance himself from the &quot;beautiful ideal&quot; advocated since the beginning of the Renaissance, and modeled on the art of antiquity. He does not hesitate to paint reality in its entirety, uncompromising: pale complexion, dirty nails, blackened teeth ... Look for example the representation of the hands of &quot;Holofernes&quot; in the painting kept in Rome (Figure 2) or the feet of one of the peasants of the &quot;Madonna of Pilgrims&quot; (Fig. 3).<\/p><p><div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-42125 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/en\/caravaggio-madona-di-loreto-800x1368\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"364\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio-Madona-di-Loreto-800x1368.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-42321\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-42321'>\n\t\t\t\tDetail of The Madonna of Pilgrims, circa 1604, St. Augustine Basilica, Rome. \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/en\/transparence-bacchus\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/transparence-bacchus-400x400.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-42325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/transparence-bacchus-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/transparence-bacchus-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/transparence-bacchus-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-42325'>\n\t\t\t\tDetail of Bacchus, circa 1596, Uffizi Gallery, Florence.  \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/en\/caravaggio_judith_beheading_holofernes\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"362\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-42320\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-42320'>\n\t\t\t\tDetail of Judith and Holofernes, circa 1599 - 1602, Ancient Art Gallery, Rome.  \n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><p><strong>The models.<\/strong><\/p><p>There again, religious scene or secular scene, he takes his models in everyday life: thugs, beggars, prostitutes and restores their brutal reality, which again is not without shock some of his contemporaries.

It associates with a precise touch and raw details, the rendering of a lateral and artificial lighting. This is a &#039; <strong>metamorphosed naturalism<\/strong> In the words of G\u00e9rard-Julien Salvy, whom he defines as a naturalism &quot;not confined to description&quot;; Broadcast a <strong>artificial light<\/strong> striking the scene from an angle gives his scenes a supernatural side and creates &quot;abrupt&quot; contrasts. The highlighting of certain faces and volumes gives an intensely dramatic side to the scene. Caravaggio, who did not like forced or superfluous expressions, thus uses the eloquence of light.<\/p><p>This chiaroscuro could not be so highlighted without <strong>dark backgrounds<\/strong>, sometimes united. A brightly lit subject against a solid background becomes sharp and precise. The contrast is vigorous.<\/p><p>The emergence of light in the shadow gives a <strong>effect &quot;suspended&quot; gestures<\/strong> protagonists, this same <strong>light connecting the different protagonists to each other<\/strong>.<\/p><p>When he painted &quot;The Ecstasy of Saint Francis,&quot; a painting now in the United States, it was the very first time that Caravaggio used chiaroscuro in a religious scene. The lighting is concentrated on the face of the Saint and the angel supporting him, the rest of the scene remaining in semi-darkness: the representation is mystical, the entire spirituality translated by this almost sensual lighting.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_42323\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42323\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Le_Caravage_-_Lextase_de_Saint_Franc\u0327ois-800x570.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Le_Caravage_-_Lextase_de_Saint_Franc\u0327ois-800x570.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Le_Caravage_-_Lextase_de_Saint_Franc\u0327ois-768x547.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Le_Caravage_-_Lextase_de_Saint_Franc\u0327ois-702x500.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Le_Caravage_-_Lextase_de_Saint_Franc\u0327ois-600x428.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Le_Caravage_-_Lextase_de_Saint_Franc\u0327ois.jpg 1089w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ecstasy of St. Francis, circa 1597, Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Finally, for some compositions, such as Judith beheading General Holofernes kept in Rome, Caravaggio uses a <strong>tight framing<\/strong> half-body that brings the viewer closer to the characters in action.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_42319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42319\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes-1-800x593.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes-1-800x593.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes-1-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes-1-674x500.jpg 674w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes-1-600x445.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Caravaggio_Judith_Beheading_Holofernes-1.jpg 1216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Judith and Holofernes, circa 1599 - 1602, Ancient Art Gallery, Rome.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>First home of Caravaggio before his adventures forced him to exodus, Rome is a city and cosmopolitan at the turn of the century, with visitors flocking not only from all over Italy, but also from France, Germany, England, Flanders including many artists coming to form there.
