Judith Beheading Holofernes
Artemisia Gentileschi Caravaggio Michelangelo
The country defeated by the actions of Judith was Assyria. Judith was a Jewish widow who saved her people by seducing and beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes, which led to the defeat of the Assyrian army.
The painting you are referring to, "Judith and Her Maidservant Holding the Head of Holofernes" was actually painted by Artemisia Gentileschi, not Caravaggio. Gentileschi was an avid follower of Caravaggio, known as a caravaggisti, and copied many of his techniques in her own work.

Yes, there is a strong sense of directional force in Artemisia Gentileschi's painting "Judith Slaying Holofernes." The dynamic poses of Judith and her maidservant, along with the vigorous movement of the sword, create a dramatic diagonal line that guides the viewer's eye through the composition. The use of light and shadow further emphasizes this motion, enhancing the intensity of the moment. Overall, the energy and tension in the scene convey a powerful narrative of action and struggle.
