"Judith and Holofernes" is a painting by the 19th-century German-born British artist Theodor von Holst (1810–1844). The work is inspired by the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith in the Old Testament. In the narrative, Judith seduces and subsequently beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her besieged city, Bethulia. The painting depicts the moment of Judith's triumph, capturing the drama and intensity of the scene.

Theodor von Holst, a member of the Nazarene movement, was known for his romantic and often gothic-themed artworks, which frequently drew upon literary and biblical subjects. "Judith and Holofernes" reflects von Holst's fascination with strong, enigmatic female characters and his skill in portraying psychological depth and moral complexity. The painting is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the expressive interplay of light and shadow, which serves to heighten the emotional impact of the scene.

As a significant work in von Holst's oeuvre, "Judith and Holofernes" exemplifies the artist's contribution to Victorian art and his influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, despite his relatively short career. The painting is often analyzed in the context of the gender dynamics and the theme of female empowerment, as well as its place within the broader tradition of depicting the Judith story in art history.

The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception over time are also of interest to art historians and critics, as they shed light on the changing perceptions of von Holst's work and the enduring appeal of the Judith narrative in visual culture.
