Museo Davia Bargellini - Judith with the head of Holofernes

Lavinia Fontana, a daughter of renowned painter Prospero Fontana, wasn't content with simply living in her father's shadow. She became a successful portrait painter, then branched out to large-scale works like "Judith with the Head of Holofernes". More than just a painter and intellectual, she was a virtuosa musician and a gracious hostess, embodying a well-rounded woman of her time.
