Judith 1515

Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Judith" (1515) depicts the biblical heroine holding the severed head of Holofernes. The painting showcases Cranach's signature Northern Renaissance style, with meticulous detail and rich colors. Judith, dressed in elegant attire, exudes a sense of strength and determination, contrasting with the lifelessness of Holofernes. This work is a powerful representation of faith, courage, and the triumph of good over evil, and is now housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
