Dr. Jamie Ferguson+FollowCaravaggio’s shocking masterpiece lands in Fort WorthCaravaggio’s infamous “Judith Beheading Holofernes” is coming to the Kimbell Art Museum, and it’s not your typical art show. This six-foot-wide painting, on loan from Rome, is so intense that early owners kept it hidden behind a curtain. The raw drama—Judith mid-swing, blood flying, her maid ready with a sack—feels like it could spill right into the gallery.
