JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES:
A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF WORKS

NTRODUCTION
Through many transformations and interpretations of the dramatic
elements of the apocryphal story of Judith and Holofernes, the biblical tale
has become part of our cultural heritage and has exerted a profound influence
on the creative spirit of writers and artists throughout the centuries.
The Book of Judith is divided into four major sections: Nebuchadnezzar’s
wars of aggression, with the description of the splendor and the cruelty of the
Orient; the siege of Bethulia by the proud Holofernes and the sufferings of
the people; Judith’s deceitful beguiling of Holofernes and the decapitation of
the general; the triumphal return of Judith to Bethulia and the defeat of the
Assyrian army.
The story of Judith contains all the elements of a mythical event: the
heroine is called to perform a dangerous deed; she is swallowed by the
dangerous unknown, Holofernes’ tent; she is granted the supernatural
assistance of God; she accomplishes her mission and safely returns to
Bethulia. Writers have capitalized on one or more of these dramatic moments
in order to express religious, patriotic, or social ideas, while artists have
usually limited their works to the most dramatic event, the beheading of
Holofernes, or to the return of Judith to Bethulia.
Before the middle of the sixteenth century, Judith is usually portrayed as a
moral and religious heroine, a prefiguration of Mary and of the Church, and
as a political heroine (Sacra rappresentazione di Judith). During the years of
the Council of Trent and soon afterwards the heroine becomes a vehicle for
religious propaganda – the defender of the Catholic Church against
Protestantism (Stefano Tuccio’s Juditha), or for social comments – an attack
against some of the problems of sixteenth-century society (Cesare Sacchetti’s
Rappresentazione di Giudith). In the tragedies written between 1580 and
1625 (Giovanni Andrea Ploti’s Giuditta, Giovanni Battista Alberti’s
Oloferne, and Giovanni Angelo Lottini’s Giudetta) the heroine is portrayed
as a mannered character coping with contradictions between impulsive
passion and political commitment. In Federico Della Valle’s tragedy Judith is
248
the heroine who rises above court intrigues and false passions; and the
biblical story becomes for the author a means to condemn the corruption of
the courts. Today she has become the female heroine who fights for women’s
rights.
As in literature, in art there is also an evolution in the interpretation of the
figure of Judith. In medieval paintings and manuscript illustrations Judith is
usually portrayed as an allegorical prefiguration of the Church or Mary, while
during the Renaissance the heroine becomes a symbol, especially in Florence,
of republicanism (the woman who single-handedly fought for freedom
against tyranny – Donatello’s Judith and Holofernes). During the Early
Baroque period (c. 1580-1625) the biblical story becomes a vehicle for highly
dramatic action (Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi) or for dazzling opulence
(Fede Galizia, Antiveduto Gramatica). In the 18th and 19th centuries she
becomes a sex symbol, the temptress, the femme fatale, who destroys man
(Klimt).
From the seventeenth century to the present the story of Judith has appeared
in countless oratorios, among which the most famous are Vivaldi’s Juditha
Triumphans (1716), and Metastasio’s Betulia Liberata (1734); it has been a
subject for an opera by Cimarosa; for a play (18th century,) written in Sicilian
dialect; for an epic poem Ivditha Vindex et Vindicata (1628) by Batolomeo
Tortoletti; for a play by Luigi Douclou, Betulia Liberata (1832), written in
Judeo-Italian dialect; for a sacra rappresentazine Bettulia liberata dal valore
di Giuditta (ca. 1775) by Gregorio Mancinelli, with servants speaking in
Roman dialect; and for a ballet and various intermedii. According to Croce
and D’Ancona the Rappresentazione di Giuditta was still performed in Italy
during the last century. One of the latest adaptations of the story has been the
Giuditta (1948), by Carlo Terron, in which Judith is an Italian girl whose
house is used by a German general (Holofernes) as the headquarters of his
operations. The two main characters recognize their situation and are aware
of their biblical mythical roles. At the end of the tragedy, the general is
poisoned with a glass of wine and Judith is shot with a pistol by her friend
and lover, because she has dared to love the enemy. There have been various
films and television adaptations of the biblical story. The most unusual
depiction is by the American artist, Judith G. Klausner, who has done a threedimensional depiction of the decapitation of Holofernes with mantises,
fabric, paint, clay, and sand.
The story of Judith and Holofernes is a mythical representation of mankind
being lost in a world without God, of the destruction of evil through the self
abnegation of a woman and the intercession of God, and of mankind’s search
for peace, both political and religious.
When in the early 1970s I was writing my dissertation it was a time
consuming research looking for literary and visual representation of the
biblical story; today, with the use of the Internet, one can easily research
libraries and museums and galleries all over the world. The following list
249

does not pretend to be inclusive of all the works extant. Especially with
manuscript illuminations, and woodcuts and prints, when the artists made
many copies and later restrikes were done so the same work can be found in
various museums and art galleries or art dealers. Furthermore, I don’t list any
of the references about Judith in the religious and literary works, from the
Father of the Church, to Dante and Shakespeare, Camille and Paglia.
Not all the works which I list have great literary or artistic importance.
Therefore, except for the masterpieces by major artists, e.g. Caravaggio,
Gentileschi, the oil paintings and the prints are not usually on display in the
museums which own them. The same could be said about the oratorios and
the musical compositions, which are rarely if ever staged or performed as
they were composed by minor musicians. Nevertheless, they are significant
for the knowledge and understanding of the period during which they were
created. They are mirrors of the conditions intrinsic to a particular moment in
history; therefore they show how the biblical tale of Judith and Holofernes
has been adopted and interpreted to suit the needs of the times.
I am planning to publish a more complete list in the future. Meanwhile, I
would recommend the following bibliographical references.

The collection consists of eight Flemish tapestries with original border which
originally belonged for about two hundred and fifty years to the great
patrician Roman family, the Barberini, and which in 1889 passed into the
Ffoulk collection in the U.S.A. The translation of the Latin inscription woven
in the top border of each tapestry is:
1. King Nebuchadnezzar sends Holofernes, the Chief Captain o of his army,
against Israel.
2. Achior, the leader of the Ammonites, while expounding the power of the
God of Israel, is arrested by order of Holofernes.
3. The widow, Judith, weighed the virtues and the vices of the people; when
the latter are the heavier, Israel is punished.
4. The most beautiful Judith arrays herself in garments of gladness, in order
that she may free Bethulia from destruction.
5. Judith, in the guise of a fugitive, cunningly deceived Holofernes, and
promises him a specious victory.
6. Holofernes, while drunken, is deprived of his head by Judith, who thus
saves Israel.
7. Judith, victress, displays the head of Holofernes, to the people, who
praise the God of Israel.
8. The God of Israel routs the army of Holofernes, and treasures are given
to Judith.
9. The average height of each tapestry is 13 ft 6 ½ inches. The total of all
widths is 120 feet.
