"Giuditta e la sua ancella" (Judith and Her Maidservant) is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Orazio Gentileschi, created circa 1623–1625. The artwork is a representation of a biblical scene from the Book of Judith, where the heroine Judith, along with her maidservant, beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her people. This theme was popular in the Baroque period, often depicted to showcase themes of virtue, power, and courage.

Orazio Gentileschi, born in Pisa in 1563 and died in London in 1639, was a prominent painter of the early Baroque period. He was influenced by Caravaggio's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and became known for his own interpretation of the tenebrist style, characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark. Gentileschi's works often feature strong, decisive female figures, a characteristic that is evident in "Giuditta e la sua ancella."

The painting is remarkable for its dramatic lighting and the psychological intensity between the figures. Judith is depicted in the act of concealing the sword with which she has decapitated Holofernes, while her maidservant holds a basket to hide the severed head. The expressions on their faces and their cautious gestures suggest the tension and gravity of the moment just after the murder.

"Giuditta e la sua ancella" is a prime example of Gentileschi's mature style, showcasing his ability to combine realism with emotional depth. The painting's composition, with its strong diagonal lines and interplay of light and shadow, creates a dynamic and engaging narrative scene.

This work is part of a series of paintings by Gentileschi on the subject of Judith and Holofernes. It is often compared to similar works by his daughter, Artemisia Gentileschi, who was also a celebrated artist of the period and frequently explored similar themes of female strength and independence in her work.

"Giuditta e la sua ancella" is housed in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, as part of the extensive art collections of the Galleria Palatina. It remains an important work for the study of Baroque art and continues to be admired for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal biblical story.
