GIOVANNI FRANCESCO GUERRIERI(1589-1655)

How can one artist differ so much
in quality? One moment painting Lot
and his misguided daughters almost like
Caravaggio risen from his grave, then...
a puffy miniature Judith with an embarrassed
head of Holofernes, head chopped off
after dying of shame for being involved,
and as you remember Artemisia Gentileschi's
magnificent avenger of male violence,
you feel near physical pain
gazing at this monstrosity...
