"Judith mit dem Haupt des Holofernes" (Judith with the Head of Holofernes) is a notable engraving by the German artist Heinrich Aldegrever, created in 1530. This work is part of a rich tradition of depicting the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow who seduced and then decapitated the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her people. Aldegrever's interpretation is distinguished by its intricate detail and the artist's mastery of the engraving medium, reflecting the influence of the German Renaissance on his style.

Heinrich Aldegrever, born Heinrich Trippenmecker (1502–c. 1555/1561), was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his engravings, ornamental designs, and architectural works. He was closely associated with the school of artists in the Westphalian city of Soest and was influenced by the works of Albrecht Dürer and the Italian Renaissance. Aldegrever's engravings, including "Judith mit dem Haupt des Holofernes," are celebrated for their precision, elegance, and expressive detail, showcasing his skill in depicting human figures and narrative scenes.

The engraving depicts Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, a moment of triumph and divine justice. Aldegrever's rendition is notable for its portrayal of Judith not just as a figure of strength and determination but also of grace and beauty, embodying the ideal of the Renaissance woman. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with attention to the textures of fabrics and armor, and the expressions of the characters, which convey the gravity of the scene.

"Judith mit dem Haupt des Holofernes" is not only a testament to Aldegrever's artistic skill but also to the enduring appeal of the Judith story in the visual arts. This work contributes to the understanding of biblical narratives in Renaissance art and the cultural exchange between the Italian and Northern Renaissances. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the period, the artist, and the depiction of biblical heroines in art history.
