BENJAMIN-CONSTANT (JEAN-JOSEPH-BENJAMIN CONSTANT). JUDITH

Judith. Artist: Benjamin-Constant (Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant) (French, Paris 1845-1902 Paris). Dimensions: 47 1/2 x 31 1/2 in. (120.7 x 80 cm). Date: possibly ca. 1886. Painted in glinting red and gold tones, this exotic figure attests to Benjamin-Constant's esteem for Delacroix; following in the older artist's footsteps, he had traveled to Spain and Morocco in the early 1870s, a voyage that yielded inspiration, and props, for many of his pictures. Here, Judith, the Old Testament heroine who saved her besieged city by beheading the general Holofernes, appears as an avenging beauty, proudly bearing her sword. Benjamin-Constant returned repeatedly to this dramatic subject, including another version shown at the Salon of 1886.
