Painting "Salome With The Head Of St John, The Baptist 1609" from Caravaggio - Michelangelo Merisi - Buy hand painted oil reproduction

Salome with the Head of John the Baptist (Madrid) c. 1609 is a painting by the Italian master Caravaggio in the Palacio Real Madrid. The early Caravaggio biographer Giovanni Bellori writing in 1672 records the artist sending a Salome with the Head of John the Baptist from Naples to the Grand Master of the Knights of Malta Fra Alof de Wignacourt in the hope of regaining favour after having been expelled from the Order in 1608. It seems likely that this is the work according to Caravaggio scholar John Gash. Gash also notes that the executioner looking down at the severed head helps transform the painting from a provocative spectacle into a profound meditation on death and human malevolence.
