EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of Salome with the Head of John the Baptist. Painted by Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen in Amsterdam in 1524, this panel artwork showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The composition is set under a majestic arch, transporting us to a distant landscape adorned with farms along a serene river. However, our focus is immediately drawn to Salome herself, holding an expression both haunting and mesmerizing. In her hands rests the severed head of John the Baptist on a large round tin dish. Van Oostsanen's masterful use of oil paint brings depth and texture to every element within this piece. The colors are richly layered, creating an atmosphere that oscillates between horror and fascination. The play of light adds an ethereal quality to Salome's face as she gazes upon her gruesome trophy. This print allows us to appreciate not only Van Oostsanen's artistic prowess but also his ability to capture such raw emotion within his subjects. It serves as a reminder of how art can provoke contemplation about human nature and morality throughout history
