Judith is a painting by the Italian painter Giorgione, executed around 1504. It is one of the few authentic works by Giorgione owned by the Russian Hermitage Museum.[1] The painting, originally attributed to Raphael, came to the Hermitage in 1772 from Paris.[1] Like many other paintings, it refers to the Judith and Holofernes motif.
