Giorgione 1477 – 1510 Judith with Holofernes' Headoil on canvas (144 × 66 cm) — c. 1504
This work is linked to Judith 13:9 Judith poses with the head of Holofernes under her foot. Holofernes was the enemy warlord she decapitated with the sword in her right hand. Giorgione originally painted this work on a wooden panel. In 1893 the painting was transfered to canvas. The statue of David that the sculptor Donatello made in 1440 may have served as an example.
