Dance, request and head of Jean-Baptiste · Salomé
Caravaggio, Rubens, Gustave Moreau and Klimt transform Salome into a biblical, tragic and symbolist figure, from dance to the stage carrying the head of the Baptist.
Salomé is the daughter of Herodias in the story of the death of John the Baptist. After dancing in front of Herod, she obtains, at the instigation of her mother, the head of the prophet on a platter. The painting favors three moments: dancing at the banquet, decapitation and presentation of the head. Caravaggio reduces the scene to a few figures plunged into shadow; Salomé receives the stage with an ambiguous expression, between distance, trouble and responsibility. Rubens accentuates the executioner's energy, the flesh, the gestures and the theatrical violence. Titian, Reni and Vouet accentuate the energy of the executioner, the flesh, the gestures and the theatrical violence. Titian, Reni and Vouet give the contrast between beauty, luxury and death a disturbing elegance. In the 19th century, Gustave Moreau transformed dance into vision loaded with jewelry, architecture and symbols. Klimt pushes this metamorphosis even further: Salomé becomes a decorative icon where the body, gold and patterns condense desire and danger. Plateau, head of the Baptist, palace and sumptuous costume are the major signs of the theme. The "Salomé" selection notably compares Salomé with the head of Jean-Baptiste - Caravaggio and Salomé receives the head of Jean-Baptiste - Rubens. His reading favors the story.
Salomé concentrates a contrast that fascinates painters: the brilliance of the dance and the jewelry suddenly clashes with the silence of the head on the stage.
