"Judith and Holofernes" is a notable Renaissance painting created by the Italian artist Andrea Mantegna around 1495. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the Book of Judith in the Apocrypha, who beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. Mantegna's interpretation of this dramatic scene is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail, masterful use of perspective, and the stark emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures.

The painting is executed in tempera on canvas, a medium Mantegna favored for its ability to capture fine details, and measures approximately 48 x 37 cm. It is part of a larger body of work by Mantegna that reflects his fascination with classical antiquity and his innovative approach to spatial composition. In "Judith and Holofernes," Mantegna employs a high vantage point and foreshortening to create a sense of depth and to draw the viewer's attention to the central act of Judith beheading Holofernes.

Mantegna's portrayal of Judith is imbued with both grace and fortitude, characteristics that have led scholars to interpret the painting as a symbol of virtue triumphing over tyranny. The work is also noted for its psychological complexity, as it captures the moment of Judith's resolve in the face of a gruesome act. The background of the painting, often remarked upon for its starkness and the absence of extraneous detail, serves to focus the viewer's gaze on the interaction between the two figures.

"Judith and Holofernes" by Andrea Mantegna is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It remains an important example of Mantegna's artistic legacy and a significant piece within the canon of Italian Renaissance art, reflecting the era's preoccupations with humanism, biblical narratives, and the revival of classical themes.
