"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a renowned Baroque painting by the Italian artist Cristofano Allori (1577–1621). Created in 1613, this work is considered one of Allori's masterpieces and is often cited as a prime example of the dramatic intensity and refined technique characteristic of the Florentine school during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.

The painting depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the Book of Judith in the Apocrypha. Judith is shown having beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes in order to save her city, Bethulia, from his army's siege. In Allori's interpretation, Judith is portrayed with a serene and composed expression, holding the severed head of Holofernes by his hair. The depiction is notable for its vivid realism, meticulous attention to detail, and the psychological complexity rendered in the figures' expressions.

Measuring 120.5 cm by 100 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It is particularly famous for the artist's use of models from his own life: the face of Judith is believed to be that of his former lover, Mazzafirra, while the head of Holofernes is a self-portrait, and the old servant is modeled after his mother. This personal touch adds a layer of intrigue and depth to the artwork, as it intertwines personal narrative with the historical and religious subject matter.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, and remains a significant work for its artistic merit and the insight it provides into the personal life of Cristofano Allori. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its powerful representation of a pivotal moment in a biblical tale, as well as for its technical brilliance and emotional impact.
