The series of
original paintings "MODERN BIBLE" is a mix of actuality and eternity. I
live in Jerusalem, in the center of this mix.
"Judith,
a beautiful widow, is able to enter the tent of Holofernes because of
his desire for her. Holofernes was an Assyrian general who was about to
destroy Judith's home, the city of Bethulia. Bethulia was saved by
Judith, a beautiful Hebrew widow who entered
Holofernes's camp and seduced him. Judith then beheaded Holofernes
while he was drunk. She returned to Bethulia with the severed head, and
the Hebrews defeated the enemy."
