1920s old postcard of Judith with the head of Holofernes. To whom did Judith cut off her head? VI century BC. After the Assyrian troops besieged her hometown, she dressed up and went to the enemy camp, where she attracted the attention of the general Olofernes. After a long prayer to God, she puts on her best robes to seduce him. After Olofernes has drunk enough wine to intoxicate, Judith beheads him with his own sword, gaining a decisive victory for the Israelites Since the Renaissance, the image of Judith was extremely popular in art and had both heroic and erotic connotations.
