"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a renowned oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1616. The artwork depicts the biblical heroine Judith, a figure from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith in the Old Testament, who is celebrated for her act of beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. Rubens' interpretation of this dramatic scene is imbued with the dynamic movement and rich coloration characteristic of his mature style.

In the painting, Judith is portrayed with a sense of triumphant resolve as she grasps the severed head of Holofernes by the hair. Her maidservant, often included in artistic representations of this narrative, assists her or stands watch. The composition is marked by a stark contrast between the heroine's fair complexion and the lifeless head, emphasizing the gruesome nature of the act and the moral fortitude of Judith. Rubens' mastery in rendering textures, from the luxurious fabrics to the tactile quality of flesh and hair, is evident in this work.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is part of a long tradition of artistic representations of Judith, a subject that has been interpreted by numerous artists throughout history, each bringing their own perspective to the tale of courage and virtue.
