Artemisia Gentileschi and the Evolution of Judith

CW: SA (avoid 5:30-7:35), general violence

Our spooky season continues with an investigation into a very famous depiction of a bloody beheading in order to honor some Halloween visual traditions: the horror flick and the slasher! Because it's all about the specificities of the gore going on in this female artist's striking rendition of a popular art historical trope, this episode should be considered PG. But don't let your eyes fool you; the real legend lies behind the painting. This week on Highbrow Honey, we're diving into Artemisia Gentileschi and the Evolution of Judith!
