"Judith Preparing Herself to Meet Holofernes" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Reyer van Blommendael (circa 1628–1675). The artwork depicts the biblical heroine Judith as she readies herself to encounter the Assyrian general Holofernes, whom she ultimately beheads to save her people. This subject was a popular theme in art, symbolizing virtue overcoming vice and often interpreted as an allegory of the triumph of good over evil.

Van Blommendael's interpretation of Judith is characterized by his attention to detail and the rich, vibrant colors typical of the Dutch Baroque period. The painting captures a moment of intense preparation and reflection, with Judith adorning herself to appear seductive, which was part of her strategy to gain Holofernes's trust before killing him. The artist's portrayal of Judith may reflect the contemporary interest in themes of power, courage, and female virtue.

As with many works of art from this era, "Judith Preparing Herself to Meet Holofernes" can be seen as an example of the cultural and artistic values of the time, showcasing the artist's skill in composition, use of light and shadow, and the ability to convey narrative through visual means. The painting is significant for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the visual interpretation of a key biblical story.
