What does the website of the Art Institute Chicago state about this artwork created by Jan Sanders van Hemessen? (© Copyright - by Art Institute Chicago - Art Institute Chicago)
Judith was considered one of the most heroic women of the Old Testament. According to the biblical story, when her city was besieged by the Assyrian army, the beautiful young widow gained access to the quarters of the general Holofernes. After winning his confidence and getting him drunk, she took his sword and cut off his head, thereby saving the Jewish people. Although Judith was often shown richly and exotically clothed, Jan Sanders van Hemessen chose to present her as a monumental nude, aggressively brandishing her sword even after severing Holofernes’s head.

That is why, canvas prints are suitable for all types of walls.
- Printed poster (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a printed sheet of flat canvas with a granular structure on the surface. It is particularly appropriate for putting your art copy with the help of a special frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin of around 2 - 6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.

A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the best introduction to fine art prints with aluminum. For our Aluminium Dibond print, we print your chosen work of art onto the surface of the aluminum.
