Klimt’s masterpiece is his rendering of Judith with an expression so seductive and relaxed it's defiant. The dot of light in her eye and the glint of her teeth give the picture such an electric presence, the severed head she cradles becomes an afterthought. Flat and graphic, entirely modern—drenched in mythic atmosphere but very alive.
