"Judith and Holophernes Toulouse or Judith Beheading Holofernes(1607)", Caravaggio

About the Artwork

“Judith and Holofernes” (1607) by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio is a visceral and unforgettable portrayal of biblical drama. In this oil painting, the widow Judith stands poised over the slumbering Assyrian general Holofernes, her blade raised for the fatal strike. Caravaggio’s mastery of tenebrism—the stark interplay of light and shadow—intensifies the scene. The inky black background isolates the figures, emphasizing Judith’s determination and Holofernes’ vulnerability. X-rays reveal Caravaggio’s meticulous adjustments to Holofernes’ head position, capturing the moment of decapitation with raw emotion. The model for Judith, likely the Roman courtesan Fillide Melandroni, lends authenticity to the composition.
