About the piece
Painted around 1627 by the Italian Baroque master Bernardo Strozzi, this work depicts the dramatic scene of Salome with the head of John the Baptist. The painting showcases Strozzi's characteristic painterly style, with luminous textures in the white silk and a bold palette of crimson and emerald green that contrasts sharply against the dark, atmospheric background.
