1496 Banquet Biblical Garcia Herods Holds Passage Pedro Re Production Salome Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This reproduction depicts Pedro Garcia de Benabarre's interpretation of the biblical passage known as "Herod's Banquet," taken from the Book of Mark in the New Testament. The painting, created during the late 15th century, portrays the intriguing and tragic encounter between Salome, Herodias' daughter, and St. John the Baptist. In the image, Salome, dressed in rich, flowing robes, holds the severed head of St. John the Baptist on a silver platter, triumphantly presenting it to Herod, King of Judea, in fulfillment of her mother's vengeful request. The king, horrified by the sight, is shown with a pained expression, while Herodias, seated to his right, looks on with satisfaction. Pedro Garcia de Benabarre, a Spanish painter from the late Gothic period, masterfully captures the dramatic tension and emotion in this scene. The use of bold colors, intricate details, and expressive faces adds depth and intensity to the narrative. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in bringing this historical and biblical passage to life. The importance of this work lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical significance. It offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the late 15th century, providing valuable insights into the religious, social, and political climate of the time. This reproduction is a must-have for any art or history enthusiast, offering a captivating and thought-provoking addition to your collection.
