"Judith Beheading Holofernes" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, created around 1611–1612. The work depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow, who seduces and subsequently beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. This dramatic and violent scene has been a popular subject in art, known as the Power of Women, which showcases female figures triumphing over powerful men.

Artemisia Gentileschi's interpretation of this tale is particularly noted for its graphic realism and the emotional intensity conveyed. The painting is remarkable for its stark depiction of the physical struggle between Judith and Holofernes, as well as the determination and courage of Judith, who is assisted by her maidservant. Gentileschi's own experiences, including her survival of sexual assault and the subsequent trial, have often been cited as influencing the visceral nature of her portrayal of Judith's triumph over male aggression.

The work is a prime example of Caravaggism, with its strong use of chiaroscuro and realistic observation, elements that are characteristic of the style of Caravaggio, whom Gentileschi admired and emulated. The painting's detail, particularly in the depiction of blood and the physical exertion of the characters, showcases Gentileschi's mastery of the medium and her ability to convey narrative through visual art.

"Judith Beheading Holofernes" is often highlighted as a significant work in the oeuvre of Artemisia Gentileschi, who is considered one of the most accomplished painters among the followers of Caravaggio and one of the most important female artists of the Baroque era. The painting not only reflects Gentileschi's technical skill but also her unique perspective as a woman artist working in a male-dominated field, offering a powerful and personal interpretation of a historical and mythological subject.
