"Judith and Holofernes" (1626) is a notable oil painting by the French Baroque artist Jean de Boulogne, better known as Valentin de Boulogne or Le Valentin. This work is an interpretation of the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the Book of Judith in the Apocrypha. The narrative depicts Judith's act of beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. Valentin's rendition of this dramatic scene is characterized by its intense realism and chiaroscuro, a technique he mastered under the influence of Caravaggio during his time in Rome.

In the painting, Valentin captures the moment of Judith's triumph over Holofernes with a stark contrast of light and shadow, emphasizing the emotional intensity and physical struggle involved in the act. Judith is often portrayed with an expression of resolve and determination, while the figure of Holofernes is typically depicted in a state of vulnerability and surprise. The composition, the use of color, and the handling of light and dark all serve to heighten the drama and tension of the scene.

Valentin de Boulogne's "Judith and Holofernes" is considered an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the Baroque period, reflecting the era's fascination with dramatic narratives, as well as the influence of Caravaggism. The painting is also an example of the artist's skill in depicting human emotion and physicality, contributing to his reputation as one of the leading French followers of Caravaggio. This work is often analyzed in the context of its artistic and historical significance, as well as its interpretation of the Judith story, which has been a subject of art across various cultures and epochs.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and powerful rendering of a timeless biblical tale.
