About The Artwork
Judith was a beautiful Jewish widow, who entered the tent of the Assyrian general Holofernes, decapitated him with his own sword, and brought his head back to her people. According to his biographer Baldinucci, Allori painted this work in part as an autobiographical account of his love affair with Maria de Giovanni Mazzafirri, which ended badly. The figure of Judith, Baldinucci claimed, resembles ‘La Mazzafirra’, the servant in the background her mother, and the severed head of Holofernes is a portrait of the artist himself.

I was born in 1956 in a small village name "terpilos" near the city of Kilkis,Greece My work consists of depicting old buildings of my city and landscapes of the natural environment. I like to portray them realistically to show the reality. I am interested in capturing the sunlight the moment it falls on buildings and trees I prefer to paint them out in nature rather than photographs,to capture the moment. The main materials i use are oils and acrylics on canvas,Also ink and tempera.
