The Discovery of the Body of Holofernes

The Discovery of the Body of Holofernes (Italian: Scoperta del cadavere di Oloferne), also titled The Finding of the Dead Holofernes, is an early painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, dated to about 1472.

This small-format tempera on panel, 31 × 24 cm (12 x 9.4 in), and its pendant, The Return of Judith to Bethulia, both housed at the Uffizi in Florence, illustrate related biblical episodes described in the deuterocanonical and apocryphal book of Judith: the assassination of the great Assyrian general Holofernes by a young and beautiful Jewish widow, Judith; and, in the second picture, Judith's triumphant return to Bethulia with the severed head.
