A new exhibit is coming to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston! Get ready for “Portrait of Courage: Gentileschi, Wiley, and the Story of Judith” starting in late January. This exhibit is included with general admission tickets and juxtaposes two paintings created 400 years apart, both depicting the Old Testament story of Judith slaying Holofernes. Artemisia Gentileschi’s 17th-century Judith and Holofernes and Kehinde Wiley’s 21st-century Judith and Holofernes place the two paintings in dialogue with one another, revealing shared narratives and ideas across time and culture. In depicting a woman’s act of courageous defiance, the paintings by Gentileschi and Wiley both address timeless issues of gender, race, violence, oppression, and social power.
