Come right in, loosen your scarf, and have a headless cookie from The Hospitality Tray, dear guest! Tonight, your hostess, Miranda Merrick, is beyond thrilled to present for your delight, three fine and famous paintings of Beheadings in Art! And what beautifully dark things they are! There will be two versions of Judith beheading Holofernes and one unforgettable portrayal of Medusa sans head. If you would like to "get ahead" and look up the featured paintings, they are: Judith Beheading Holoferness by Caravaggio, The Head of Medusa by Peter Paul Rubens, and Judith with the Head of Holofernes by Klimt. Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
