Long before Instagram, the male-dominated art world had censorship guidelines of its own. After a cover-up paint job, restorers will create a digital image of Artemisia Gentileschi's original work.
This Artemisia Gentileschi print was carefully removed from a book that was published in 2000. Titled “Judith Slaying Holofernes”, the original was made in 1612-21. This is a genuine vintage print, not a modern reproduction. All our prints removed from books will be backed with card except for double-sided prints and prints larger than A4. Perfect for mounting and framing. Please note that these prints are not the same size as the original paintings. Sizes are stated in the listing ‘Highlights’ section. The print is unframed. The frame shown in the photo is for illustration purposes only. Prints are wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and a clear plastic bag and shipped in cardboard-backed envelopes or rolled in a cardboard tube, depending on size, so they reach you in good condition.
