"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Jan van Boeckhorst, also known as Lange Jan (Long John) due to his tall stature. The painting 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. This theme has been a popular subject in the history of art, symbolizing the triumph of virtue and courage over tyranny.

Van Boeckhorst's interpretation of the subject is noted for its dramatic intensity and the vivid characterization of Judith, often portrayed as a figure of both beauty and resolve. The artwork captures the moment after the beheading, with Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, a testament to her daring act. The painting is a reflection of the Baroque style, characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, and a sense of movement, which serves to heighten the emotional impact of the scene.

Jan van Boeckhorst (1604–1668) was an accomplished painter and draftsman who trained under Jordaens and was influenced by the works of Rubens. His oeuvre includes religious and mythological scenes, genre paintings, and portraits. "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is considered one of his significant works, showcasing his skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through the medium of paint.
