Gutenberg Bible : "Leaf from the Book of Judith" (c1454) — Giclee Fine Art Print
Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper : Matte Finish, Textured Surface. Specialized pigment inks yield rich, lasting color. Fine art paper affords much greater detail than canvas. White borders leave space for matting and framing. This beautiful leaf from the Gutenberg Bible opens the Book of Judith, in which the titular character delivers her people from an Assyrian army by inveigling her way into the general's tent and lopping off his head. Though omitted as apocrypha from many editions of the Bible, the story of Judith-a virtuous femme fatale-has been the inspiration of artists for centuries.
