"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Pietro Dandini, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the Book of Judith in the Apocrypha, who seduced and subsequently beheaded the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her city from his army's siege. Dandini's interpretation of this dramatic narrative is a testament to his skill in capturing both the physical and emotional intensity of the moment.

The painting portrays Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, often accompanied by her maid who helps in the act or stands as a witness to the deed. Dandini's rendition is noted for its vivid portrayal of Judith's character, which may range from triumphant to contemplative, reflecting the complexity of her actions as both heroic and violent. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, is a hallmark of the Baroque style and is employed by Dandini to heighten the dramatic effect and focus the viewer's attention on the central figures.

Pietro Dandini (1646–1712) was a Florentine painter who contributed to the Baroque movement in Italy. He was known for his religious and mythological scenes, which often featured dynamic compositions and a rich use of color. "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" is one of his works that exemplify his artistic abilities and his interpretation of popular biblical and historical themes of the time.

The painting is significant in art history for its representation of a powerful female figure and for its embodiment of Baroque aesthetics. It has been analyzed for its thematic exploration of virtue, power, and gender dynamics. As with many depictions of Judith, Dandini's work invites discussion on the intersection of violence and righteousness, and the moral complexities involved in the act of killing for a perceived greater good.

"Judith with the Head of Holofernes" by Pietro Dandini remains an important work for its artistic merit and its cultural and historical implications, contributing to the ongoing discourse on interpretations of biblical narratives in art. The painting is a notable example of the Baroque period's influence on the visual arts and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic significance.
