"Judith Beheading Holofernes" (1611–12) is a significant early Baroque painting by the Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most accomplished painters of her generation and a pioneering female figure in the art world, which was predominantly male at the time. The painting 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 among artists, but Gentileschi's rendition is particularly noted for its graphic realism and the emotional intensity it conveys.

The work is often interpreted through the lens of Gentileschi's personal biography, especially her experience of surviving a rape and the subsequent trial that brought her considerable anguish and public scrutiny. Scholars have suggested that the painting's forceful depiction of Judith may reflect Gentileschi's own desire for justice and empowerment in a male-dominated society. The painting is remarkable for its use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which intensifies the drama of the scene and highlights the physical exertion and determination of Judith and her maidservant.

"Judith Beheading Holofernes" is considered one of Artemisia Gentileschi's masterpieces and is a key example of her ability to merge personal narrative with historical and biblical themes. The work showcases her skill in portraying powerful female figures and contributes to the understanding of the role of women artists in the 17th century. Today, the painting stands not only as an important work of art from the Baroque period but also as a symbol of female resilience and agency.
