"Judith and Holofernes" is a notable 1745 oil painting by the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. The work depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith in the Old Testament, who seduces and subsequently beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city. Piazzetta's interpretation of this dramatic and violent scene is a testament to his mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and psychological depth in his subjects.

In the painting, Piazzetta presents Judith at the moment of her triumph, capturing both her beauty and her resolve. The artist's use of light and shadow not only enhances the drama of the scene but also serves to focus the viewer's attention on the figures' expressions and the physical interaction between the heroine and her victim. Judith's face is illuminated, highlighting her determination and the righteousness of her act, while Holofernes is shrouded in darkness, emphasizing his vulnerability and impending doom.

Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, known for his rich coloring and deeply shadowed style, was a prominent figure in 18th-century Venetian painting. His works often featured religious and genre scenes, characterized by their emotional intensity and the tactile quality of the figures. "Judith and Holofernes" is a prime example of Piazzetta's skill in blending dramatic narrative with the sensuous appeal of Venetian painting traditions.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic significance and is considered an important work within Piazzetta's oeuvre. It has been studied for its thematic exploration of power, justice, and female agency within a historical and religious context. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of 18th-century Venetian art and the broader Baroque period.
