"Judith" (1840) is a celebrated oil painting by the German artist Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a leading figure of the Nazarene movement. This artwork is renowned for its meticulous execution, spiritual depth, and its embodiment of the Nazarenes' ideals, which sought to revive the spirituality and purity of medieval and early Renaissance art. The painting depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the Book of Judith in the Old Testament, who is portrayed as a heroine for beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia.

Overbeck's "Judith" stands out for its detailed portrayal of the protagonist, capturing both her piety and bravery. The artist's use of vivid colors, careful attention to detail, and the incorporation of symbolic elements contribute to the painting's powerful impact. The artwork reflects the Nazarene movement's emphasis on religious themes, moral purity, and the integration of art and faith. Through "Judith," Overbeck not only showcases his technical prowess but also conveys a message of faith, courage, and divine justice, resonating with viewers across different eras.

The painting is significant in the context of 19th-century art for its rejection of the then-dominant neoclassical and romantic styles, advocating instead for a return to a more sincere and devout artistic expression. "Judith" by Johann Friedrich Overbeck remains an important work in the study of German Romanticism and the Nazarene movement, exemplifying the period's artistic, cultural, and religious aspirations.
