Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Judith" depicts the biblical heroine holding the severed head of Holofernes, a powerful Assyrian general. The painting highlights Judith’s resolute expression as she displays the head, demonstrating her courage and faith in her mission to save her people. Cranach, a master of Northern Renaissance art, captured the dramatic moment with meticulous detail and vibrant color, employing a realistic yet stylized approach typical of his work. This painting, now housed in the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, is a striking example of the artist's skill in portraying biblical stories with captivating detail.
