Judith and Holofernes (with Street View)

Nigel Brown born 1949

1982

Gallery label

A separately titled 1982 entry adds the street, inviting the possibility that Brown moved Judith from isolated biblical drama into a contemporary public world.

Look closely

The source distinguishes this work from Brown's same-year Judith and Holofernes through the parenthetical 'with Street View.' Without an authorized image, the difference remains a research question rather than an invented description.

Why this Judith matters

The dealer survey lists two separately titled 1982 entries. Whether they are distinct objects, related versions, or catalogue variants remains unresolved; preserving both titles records the question without pretending to have answered it.

Narrative index

Primary catalogue placement: afterlife of the story, Judith 13:6–16. The index organizes comparison; it does not claim that every visual detail comes from those verses or that the work touches only one episode.
