Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 19.6 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 22 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 45.3 × 41 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Rubens's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 120 × 111 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Braunschweig, Germany. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In "Judith with the Head of Holofernes, c.1616", Peter Paul Rubens brings a visceral intensity to the biblical tale of Judith's triumph over tyranny. The Baroque master's signature flair for drama is on full display in this striking composition.

Judith, with her milky skin and golden locks, emerges from the shadows, a picture of determined grace. Her eyes, fixed on the severed head of Holofernes, seem to hold a mix of resolve and revulsion - a testament to the emotional complexity of her heroic act.

Rubens' masterful use of chiaroscuro heightens the drama, the interplay of light and shadow lending an almost sculptural quality to the figures. The rich, vivid hues of Judith's garments stand in stark contrast to the sallow, lifeless pallor of Holofernes' head, a visual metaphor for the triumph of virtue over vice.

What sets this painting apart is the palpable sense of movement and energy. Judith's dynamic pose and the swirling drapery create a sense of unfolding narrative, inviting the viewer to imagine the moments just before and after this pivotal scene. It's a snapshot of a story, frozen in time but alive with tension and emotion.

In "Judith with the Head of Holofernes", Rubens not only showcases his technical prowess but also his acute understanding of the human psyche. He portrays Judith not as a one-dimensional heroine but as a complex, relatable figure grappling with the weight of her actions. It's this psychological depth, coupled with Rubens' unparalleled mastery of his medium, that makes this painting a true gem of the Baroque era.
