Judith is a Jewish heroine. After the Assyrian troops laid siege to her hometown, she dressed up and went to the enemy camp, where she attracted the attention of commander Holofernes. According to one version

Judith seduced him, and when he fell asleep, she cut off his head. On the other, she was waiting when he got drunk and fell asleep.

Since the Renaissance, the plot has been extremely popular in art and had both heroic and erotic connotations. She is one of the Mulier Sancta - holy women, personifies Justice and Courage. The Renaissance saw Judith as a brave heroine in action.
