Here is the painting I mentioned in class on Wednesday. Caravaggio (who Gentileschi was very influenced by, and to whom many of her paintings were misattributed for a long time) also painted the a version of Lilith beheading Holefernes. I post it here so you can compare and contrast the two images for yourself. There are no doubt a lot of similarities. The differences, however, are the most telling about the attitudes of each individual artist:
Judith Beheading Holofernes
Caravaggio
1598-1599
