Basically, some say they see the man in the background on a horse, but because the painting is quite dark in that area, it could just be interpretive and depends on how you look at the painting and the meaning you see in it. I just returned from Paris,I fell in love with this painting! I loved seeing your blog and explaining what it meant, thank you I am considering getting a framed poster of this just to contemplate.
Thank you very much! This painting is my favorite! Much Love! I found this painting on a huge canvas today but minus the man. I went to fob to find out the story and a friend posted this site for me to visit.
Can I send a pic of what I have for you to give me info on it? Its huge and breath taking to me thus the reason I grabbed it right away. Beautiful art work. I saw this picture in Paris years ago and it mesmerized me too. I had to know more about it. Finally I found your article here. Thank you very much. But as one can see in the picture, there is no horse.
Looks like there are other sad people. I am wondering how it is possible that the pictures looks so different? Looks like there are other people. I am amazed at how many others were as affected by this painting as I was. When I saw this painting at the Louvre in May, I was almost hypnotized by its quality. It was the only painting there that I took a picture of that day sans flash, of course. Today when I was looking at the picture again, I decided to do some research online.
Thank you for your observations! Wow, id like to say thank you for writing and capturing this beautiful painting. One of my favorite also; unique and stunning. There is actually two people in the background, a man who seems to be on a horse and a horrified woman to his side.
The man in the background is accompanied by a woman. The look on their faces indicates shock and horror, which many believe proves they are her parents. She was murdered during the reign of Diocletian. The name of the painting tells the whole story. Christians were brutally murdered under this ruler for following Christ.
Hence, the halo atop her head. She truly died a martyr for Christ because she would not give up her faith. On another note, I first saw this in a shop in California.
I was with my brother who was stationed there. The image was huge. Around 5 feet long and focused on the maiden. I convinced my brother that I just had to have this and some time later, he purchased it for me and sent to me across country.
Several years later, I went to a reputable place to have it mounted. I trusted the man who made the decision on mounting it. Six weeks later, when the job should have been done in four, I started contacting the owner to find out when it would be done.
That took another two weeks and when I finally spoke to the man, he admitted that my beloved print was destroyed. He offered no proof, and said it had been sent out of state to be mounted. I contacted the company that had been contracted to mount it. What a joke. Judith and the Head of Holofernes Gustav Klimt AT. Judith Beheading Holofernes Artemisia Gentileschi IT.

Marked by the death of his wife, Delaroche abandons the anecdote to turn this martyrdom into an austere allegory of the sacrifice of youth.
He thus renews the theme of Ophelia's death, dear to the Romantic generation and the Pre-Raphaelites. See all moldings. Specialising in history paintings, his work was very appreciated during his lifetime and he received numerous commissions, notably for the Versailles Museum and the hemicycle of the Paris School of Fine Arts.
