"Judith and Holofernes" is a renowned bronze sculpture created by the Italian master Donatello, dated to around 1457–1464. This work is significant in the history of art for its depiction of the biblical story of Judith beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes, a narrative that has been a popular subject for artists throughout the centuries. The sculpture stands as a testament to Donatello's mastery of bronze casting and his innovative approach to narrative and expression in Renaissance sculpture.

The statue was originally commissioned for the garden of the Medici Palace in Florence and later moved to the Piazza della Signoria as a symbol of the Florentine Republic's defiance against tyranny. In the 20th century, it was relocated to the Palazzo Vecchio, where it remains on display. The work is often interpreted as an allegory of virtue triumphing over vice, with Judith representing civic virtue and Holofernes symbolizing tyranny or evil.

Donatello's "Judith and Holofernes" is characterized by its dynamic composition and the psychological intensity between the figures. Judith is portrayed with a sense of calm determination, while Holofernes is depicted in the throes of death. The sculpture is notable for its realistic portrayal of human emotion and physicality, as well as its use of perspective and foreshortening, which were innovative techniques at the time.

The piece is a significant example of the Early Renaissance's exploration of humanist themes and the revival of classical forms. Donatello's work on this sculpture demonstrates his skill in creating powerful narrative scenes and his influence on the development of Renaissance art. "Judith and Holofernes" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical importance, as well as its contribution to the understanding of Renaissance aesthetics and ideology.
