EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the Liszt Collection depicts a powerful and dramatic scene of Salome receiving the head of John Baptist. The oval composition draws our attention to the central figures, with Salome at the center surrounded by three men. Her expression is both haunting and mesmerizing as she holds the severed head in her hands. The torch held by one of the men casts an eerie glow on their faces, adding to the intensity of this moment. The body of John Baptist lies lifeless on the ground, serving as a stark reminder of his tragic fate. Created by Balthazar Moncornet, a French artist from Rouen in 1630, this print showcases his exceptional skill in capturing emotion and storytelling through engravings. It is based on an original work by Hendrick Goudt, a Dutch artist from The Hague, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail. Adam Elsheimer, a German painter from Frankfurt who worked in Rome during this period also contributed to this collaboration. Their combined efforts resulted in an artwork that continues to captivate viewers centuries later. This particular print measures approximately 2 5/8 x 2 1/16 inches (67 x 53 cm) and is part of a series dedicated to biblical scenes. Its historical significance and artistic excellence make it a valuable addition to any art collection or exhibition.
