Judith with the Head of Holofernes — Circle of Pordenone

Circle of Pordenone. Painted 1500 - 1539.

Judith is a biblical heroine who saved the Jewish people from oppression by General Holofernes. She did this by entering his army camp and seducing him, after which she decapitated him with his own sword while he slumbered. Judith’s story is one of the few in the Bible in which a woman overpowers a man.
