Painted by Artemisia Gentileschi in the early 17th century, Judith Slaying Holofernes is one of the most powerful and uncompromising works of the Baroque era. Depicting the biblical heroine Judith in the act of overthrowing the Assyrian general Holofernes, the painting is renowned for its dramatic realism, intense physicality, and unflinching portrayal of violence. Gentileschi’s command of chiaroscuro heightens the tension, with stark contrasts of light and shadow drawing the viewer directly into the moment.
Unlike earlier interpretations of the subject, Gentileschi presents Judith not as a distant symbol, but as an active, determined force. The figures are rendered with weight and urgency, their expressions focused and resolute. Long celebrated for both its technical mastery and its emotional depth, this painting stands as a landmark of classical storytelling and a defining achievement in art history: bold, visceral, and unforgettable.
