# Judith in Triumph over Holofernes [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIORDANO, Luca]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The new treasury \(Tesoro Nuovo\) was built on the north side of the monastery. Its painted decoration, completed in 1704 by the elderly Luca Giordano, constituted the last phase of the decoration of the charterhouse. Giordano painted Judith in Triumph over Holofernes on the cupola vault. The figure that appears to dominate the vault is the heroic Judith triumphantly displaying the head of Holofernes to the people of Israel. The lunettes contains scenes from the Old Testament, among them Aaron's Sacrifice, and the Destruction of the Band of Korah above the entrance, and the Erection of the Brazen Serpent above the altar. ## Related artworks - [A Cynical Philospher]() - [A Homage to Velázquez]() - [Aaron's Sacrifice, and the Destruction of the Band of Korah \(detail\)]() - [Aaron's Sacrifice, and the Destruction of the Band of Korah]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Allegory of the Peace between Florence and Fiesole]() - [Allegory of Wisdom]() - [Apotheosis of the Medici]() - [Battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs]() - [Ceiling decoration \(detail\)]() - [Ceiling decoration \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
