Re: [lace] textile versions of Judith and Holofernes
Devon, I did a quick Google search and found one in the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia. It's English, needle lace, linen, silk, and human hair. http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=183127 I also found a site on artistic depictions of Judith and Holofernes, although it's probably not relevant for your piece, which is very stylized. http://bjws.blogspot.com/2010/10/judith-and-holofernes.html Avital On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 12:04 AM, wrote: > I am researching a piece of lace depicting the story of Judith and > Holofernes and I wondered if anyone had seen other laces with this theme. > Also of > interest would be embroideries depicting a chronological progression of the > story as exists in the lace. > I know of laces showing Judith and Holofernes that are in the Metropolitan > Museum of Art, the Cooper-Hewitt, the V & A (a lace picture), also one > depicted in the Subversive Stitch in the Fitzwilliam museum (a cutwork).

Re: [lace] textile versions of Judith and Holofernes
I had just read Devon's post about Judith and Holofernes lace when I went to Netflix to check my queue. To my surprise, one of the films recommended for me was "One Night with The King", a 2006 film about Judith and Holofernes. And, it's available for streaming, if anyone is interested.

Click on it, and be sure to see all the additional photos of it, since it is a series of scenes.

RE: [lace] textile versions of Judith and Holofernes
There is a panel of needlelace in the Lace Study Centre at the Powerhouse Museum, Ultimo, Sydney (No A5335) depicting Judith and Holofernes. Details are at www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=183127 I hope this helps.

Also of interest would be embroideries depicting a chronological progression of the story as exists in the lace. I know of laces showing Judith and Holofernes that are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cooper-Hewitt, the V & A (a lace picture), also one depicted in the Subversive Stitch in the Fitzwilliam museum (a cutwork). I have been told there is one in St. Gallen and would be interested to hear more about it. Of particular interest would be discovering the source of the design. _http://www.metmuseum.org/search/iquery.asp?command=text&datascope=all&attr1 =09.68.90_ (http://www.metmuseum.org/search/iquery.asp?command=text&datascope=all&attr1 =09.68.90) will take you to the entry for the Metropolitan Museum of Art version.
