What's the story behind this violent act? A graphic scene of violence, told across the centuries. Art Historian and Guide Michael Ohajuru looks at the story of Judith and Holofernes, and the role Black maidservant Abra plays in the story. He explores how depictions of the story have changed throughout art history, from violent Renaissance scenes painted by Titian, Artemisia Gentileschi, Johann Liss and Gustav Klimt, to striking contemporary interpretations by Kehinde Wiley.
