Judith Beheading Holofernes is a painting attributed by some art historians to Caravaggio and by others to the Flemish painter Louis Finson or to the Caravaggist milieu of Naples of the early seventeenth century. It is an oil painting on canvas from 144 × 173 cm. The champions of the attribution to Caravaggio believe that the painting was made in 1607 in Naples.
Discovered in 2014 near Toulouse, the painting is called the "Caravaggio of Toulouse" by the auctioneer Marc Labarbe who organized the sale of the painting as an autograph work of Caravaggio in 2019 and the "Judith of Toulouse" by art historians who are not convinced by the attribution to Caravaggio. It was acquired on June 25, 2019 by American businessman and art collector J. Tomilson Hill.
