Discover the DIA's Art Around Brighton

Each day this week, Brighton Patch will feature one of the seven paintings, courtesy of the DIA's Inside|Out program, which are currently on display around town.

For the fourth year, the DIA's Inside|Out program has been bringing some of it's masterpieces to local communities and this year, Brighton was selected to host seven famous reproductions from its collection.

The paintings will be on display throughout the community as part of the Inside|Out program through the month of August.

For details of what paintings are spread around town, Brighton Patch will be featuring one painting each day this week. Next up is Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi located outside The White Dress on 209 W. Main St. Women were often excluded from the art world in seventeenth-century Italy. Not true for Artemisia Gentileschi. Her tremendous skill in the use of light and gesture to create dramatic scenes earned her great success and fame. In this picture, she depicts the biblical heroine Judith defeating the general of an invading army to save her people. Watch the scene unfold.
