Monna Vanna. Medea. Lucrece. Judith. Salome. Woman in literature and history whose terrible and heroic choices altered destinies and overthrew dynasties. The ultimate sexually charged femmes fatale!
Read the story of Judith here –- and see how other artists depicted her. And read a Life in Opera here: Klimt’s Judith from 1909 bears more than a coincidental resemblance to Salome, don’t you think?
We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Put a pair of glasses on her and she could be Judith Tizard...
ReplyDeleteIf that really were THAT Judith, I doubt the picture would be so tall and thin.
