"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" (1613) is a celebrated oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Cristofano Allori. The artwork is renowned for its dramatic representation of the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow who decapitates the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city. This painting, measuring 120 cm × 100 cm, is housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, and stands as a significant example of early 17th-century Italian art.

Allori's rendition of this biblical tale is noted for its intense emotional depth and intricate detail, distinguishing it from other interpretations of the same subject by artists of his time and earlier. The painting is remarkable for its vivid portrayal of Judith, depicted not as a demure widow but as a determined and strong woman. The figure of Judith is believed to be modeled after Allori's former lover, Mazzafirra, while the severed head of Holofernes is said to be a self-portrait of the artist, adding a personal and psychological complexity to the work.

The composition, characterized by its striking use of light and shadow, showcases Allori's mastery of the chiaroscuro technique, which enhances the dramatic effect of the scene. The rich textures of the fabrics, the detailed rendering of the figures, and the emotional intensity captured in the expressions of Judith and her maidservant, who is also prominently featured, contribute to the painting's powerful impact.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is not only a masterpiece of Baroque art but also a reflection of the cultural and artistic milieu of early 17th-century Florence. It embodies the period's fascination with themes of virtue, power, and revenge, while also offering insight into the personal life and artistic vision of Cristofano Allori. This work continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence, emotional depth, and its unique place in the history of art.
