The Triumph of Judith
The never tiring Giordano created a last decorative masterpiece at the age of 72 years. 'The Triumph of Judith' in the Treasure Chapel of the Carthusian S Martino in Naples is presented as a round dance of the celestial masses who picturesquely twirl around each other in the bright, warm atmosphere. No less agitated is what happens along the rims of the fresco, the area of terrestrial life. In spite of the number of figures, the daring abridgments and the expansive gesture, the picture space appears well organized and clearly structured.
Andrea Pozzo
1694
