Processing – Judith Slaying Holofernes

As opposed to my previous rendering based on the Strata3 project where I took a Caravaggio painting and tried to render it into the colored triangles/shapes like created in the beginning of the video, I used the line drawing function in Processing to evoke the latest stages in the piece where the classical paintings are rendered into very basic polygons. I tried to represent the most basic shapes and movement.

Code:

void setup() {

size(800, 600);

}
