"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" (1728-33) is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Francesco Solimena. This work of art depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the Book of Judith in the Apocrypha, who seduced and subsequently beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. Solimena's interpretation of this dramatic and powerful scene is a testament to his mastery of the Baroque style, characterized by its vivid expression, dynamic composition, and dramatic use of light and shadow.

Francesco Solimena (1657–1747), one of the most prominent Neapolitan painters of the 18th century, was known for his grandiose and theatrical style, which combined the influence of the Roman Baroque with the vibrant colors and light of the Neapolitan tradition. "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" showcases Solimena's ability to convey intense emotion and narrative through his art. The painting captures the moment after the beheading, with Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, often interpreted as a symbol of virtue triumphing over tyranny.

The painting is notable for its rich color palette, the detailed rendering of textures, and the psychological complexity imbued in the figures. Judith is portrayed with a sense of resolve and fortitude, while the lifeless head of Holofernes is depicted with a stark realism that adds to the painting's dramatic impact.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is an exemplary work of Solimena's mature period, reflecting both his artistic skill and the cultural and religious context of the time. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Solimena and a valuable example of Baroque painting, offering insight into the era's artistic trends and the enduring appeal of biblical narratives in art. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a significant contribution to the Baroque period's exploration of themes of courage, justice, and divine intervention.
