"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni, created circa 1604-1605. The artwork is a striking representation of the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith in the Old Testament. In the narrative, Judith seduces and subsequently beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. Reni's interpretation of this dramatic scene is characterized by its delicate portrayal of Judith, a contrast to the violent act she has just committed.

The painting showcases Reni's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey psychological complexity. Judith is depicted with a serene and composed expression, holding the severed head of Holofernes by his hair. The use of light emphasizes her purity and courage, while the dark background serves to highlight the gruesome trophy of her victory. Reni's work is often noted for its elegance and the idealized beauty of his figures, and "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is no exception. The painting's composition, with its gentle curves and subdued palette, reflects the artist's affinity for classical harmony and restraint, even when dealing with subjects of intense drama.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is part of a larger tradition of artistic representations of Judith, a subject that has been interpreted by numerous artists throughout history, each bringing their own perspective to the tale of heroism and virtue. Reni's version is particularly significant for its departure from the more visceral depictions of the scene by his contemporaries, offering instead a vision that combines moral fortitude with a refined aesthetic sensibility. The painting remains an important example of Baroque art and contributes to the understanding of cultural and artistic attitudes towards biblical heroines during the period.

The work is held in the collection of the Museo del Prado, Madrid, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and its evocative portrayal of one of the most powerful women in biblical lore.
