1901 Gustav Klimt (Austrian Symbolist, 1862-1918) ~ Judith
The Assyrians plan a siege on Bethulia, and Judith isn’t having any of it. She breaks into the enemy camp, gets the Assyrian general drunk, and seduces him before cutting his head off. Returning to Bethulia with his head in a sack, Judith is hailed a heroine. Klimt portrays her as the ultimate femme fatale: very sexy, very dangerous.

“Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows’ wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents. Tendernesses,
hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees.”
Early Spring by Rainer Maria Rilke, 1901, translated from the German by Albert Ernest Flemming, New York, Methuen via
