"Judith and Holofernes" is a notable painting by Giovanni Francesco Guerrieri, an Italian painter of the early Baroque period. This artwork, created in the early 17th century, vividly depicts the biblical story of Judith, a widow from the city of Bethulia, who beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her city from his army's siege. Guerrieri, who was born in Fossombrone around 1589 and was a follower of Caravaggio, is known for his intense use of chiaroscuro and dramatic realism, both of which are prominently featured in this painting.

The painting showcases Judith at the moment of her triumph, holding the sword with which she has decapitated Holofernes, whose head she holds in her other hand. The composition, lighting, and expressions in the painting emphasize the themes of courage, virtue, and determination. Guerrieri's rendition of this biblical scene is celebrated for its emotional depth and technical mastery, reflecting the artist's ability to convey complex narratives through powerful visual storytelling.

"Judith and Holofernes" by Guerrieri not only exemplifies the Caravaggesque style that influenced many artists of the time but also stands out for its portrayal of a female biblical hero in a period dominated by male subjects. The painting is significant in the oeuvre of Guerrieri, offering insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of the early Baroque period in Italy. It remains an important work for scholars studying the period's art, the depiction of biblical stories in the Baroque era, and the evolution of female representation in art history.
