"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a notable work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a German Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his portraits and mythological themes. Created in 1530, this oil on panel painting is part of a series of works depicting the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow who decapitated the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her people.

The painting measures 87.3 cm × 56.5 cm (34.4 in × 22.2 in) and is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts (Budapest). It showcases Cranach's mastery of form and his ability to convey narrative through portraiture. The composition presents Judith in a three-quarter length pose, holding the severed head of Holofernes by his hair. She is depicted with an expression of resolute determination, embodying both the virtues of chastity and courage. Her attire is sumptuously rendered, reflecting the fashion of Cranach's time rather than the biblical era, which was a common practice among Renaissance artists to make the subjects more relatable to contemporary viewers.

Cranach's depiction of Judith is particularly significant for its blend of sensuality and violence, a duality that has intrigued art historians and critics. The painting is emblematic of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vivid colors, and a preference for symbolic rather than naturalistic representation.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is an important example of Cranach's work and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic climate of 16th-century Northern Europe. It remains a subject of scholarly interest for its iconographic complexity and its reflection of the societal and religious values of the time.
