Judith and Holofernes 

Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Judith and Holofernes" depicts a biblical scene where Judith, a courageous widow, beheads the Assyrian general Holofernes to save her people. The painting is characterized by its vivid colors and realistic details, particularly in the depiction of Judith's elegant attire and the gruesome scene of Holofernes's severed head. Cranach's style is identifiable through the use of sharp lines, strong contrasts, and expressive faces. This work is a powerful example of the artist's skill in depicting both beauty and brutality.
