"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a notable oil painting by the 18th-century French artist Jean Joseph Taillasson. Created in 1778, this work is an interpretation of the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith. The narrative depicts Judith's act of beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. Taillasson's rendition of this dramatic scene captures the moment after the beheading, with Judith often portrayed holding the severed head of Holofernes, symbolizing her triumph and courage.

Jean Joseph Taillasson (1745–1809) was a distinguished painter and writer on art theory during the French Enlightenment. He was a student of the famous French painter Joseph-Marie Vien and later became a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Taillasson was known for his historical and mythological scenes, which were influenced by the neoclassical movement of the time. His works are characterized by their clear composition, refined drawing, and the portrayal of idealized figures influenced by the study of antiquity.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" exemplifies Taillasson's skill in blending classical elements with the emotional intensity of the subject matter. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to convey narrative through the use of dramatic lighting, expressive gestures, and careful attention to the psychological portrayal of the characters. This artwork not only reflects the artistic trends of the period but also serves as an emblem of female fortitude and virtue, themes that were widely appreciated during the era.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been displayed in several exhibitions, contributing to the understanding of French neoclassical painting and the cultural representation of biblical heroines. As an important work by Taillasson, "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, offering insights into the cultural milieu of late 18th-century France.
