Celebrate Chanukah with the Museum at Eldridge Street!

More than 114 paintings depict the subject of Judith and Holofernes, created by almost as many different artists. Some artists have even painted it more than once.

Who was Judith? Was she real or fictional? What did she do? Why is she important? And…why do the greatest artists in the world—from Donatello, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Gentileschi, Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, and Tintoretto, to Judy Chicago, and Cindy Sherman—depict her story?

The “soap opera” storyline of this clever, beautiful, and pious widowed Jewish assassin would make a blockbuster movie with its seduction, suspense, war, and chutzpah. Join us on Wednesday, December 18th at 6pmfor a virtual seminar with art historian and lecturer Ellaine Rosen and explore the Chanukah heroine, Judith, through art.
