"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Cristofano Allori (1577–1621). Created in 1613, this masterpiece is celebrated for its dramatic representation, intricate detail, and emotional intensity. The painting depicts the biblical story of Judith, a widow from the city of Bethulia, who seduces and subsequently beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her city from siege. This subject was popular in the art and literature of the Baroque period, symbolizing themes of virtue, courage, and the triumph of the weak over the powerful.

Allori's interpretation stands out for its psychological depth and realism. Unlike other depictions, Allori personalizes the narrative, reportedly using his own features for Holofernes, his ex-lover as Judith, and his mother as the maidservant, adding a layer of personal tragedy and emotional complexity to the scene. Judith is portrayed at the moment of triumph, holding Holofernes' head with a composed expression, while her elderly maidservant holds a basket to collect the head, both illuminated against a dark background. The painting is remarkable for its fine detail, from the textures of the fabrics to the lifelike appearance of the figures, showcasing Allori's mastery of light, shadow, and color.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is not only a testament to Allori's skill as a painter but also reflects the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the Baroque period, including an interest in dramatic biblical stories, the exploration of human emotions, and the use of art to convey moral and ethical lessons. Today, the painting is housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, and remains a significant work in the study of Baroque art, admired for its artistic beauty and emotional resonance.
