"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, signed and dated 1529. This painting is a striking example of Cranach's mastery in portraying biblical subjects with a blend of moralistic themes and intricate detail, a common practice among Northern Renaissance artists. The artwork depicts the biblical heroine Judith, who, according to the Book of Judith in the Apocrypha, beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her city, Bethulia, from siege.

In Cranach's interpretation, Judith is often presented as a figure of both beauty and strength, embodying the virtues of courage and righteousness. The painting captures the moment after the beheading, with Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, a scene that has been widely interpreted as a symbol of virtue triumphing over vice. Cranach's rendition is particularly noted for its fine detail, rich color palette, and the complex interplay of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of Judith's garments to the gruesome depiction of Holofernes' head.

The work is signed by Cranach and bears the date of 1529, placing it within the mature period of his artistic career, when he had already established a reputation for his portraits and religious scenes. "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is not only a testament to Cranach's skill as a painter but also provides insight into the cultural and religious context of the time, reflecting the values and iconography prevalent in 16th-century German society.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is considered an important piece of Cranach's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic, cultural, and historical significance. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike, contributing to the understanding of the Northern Renaissance and its unique approach to biblical storytelling through art.
