"Cleophas and Mary of Cleophas, Salomas and Mary Salome" is an early 16th-century painting by the German Renaissance artist Bernhard Strigel, created around 1505-1506. Strigel, known for his religious compositions and portraiture, was an influential figure in the Swabian school of painting. This particular work exemplifies his skill in rendering devotional subjects with a high degree of emotional intensity and technical precision.

The painting depicts two pairs of figures: Cleophas and Mary of Cleophas, and Salomas and Mary Salome. These figures are significant in Christian tradition, often associated with the extended family of Jesus Christ. Cleophas is traditionally identified as a follower of Jesus and possibly his uncle, while Mary of Cleophas is considered one of the women who witnessed the crucifixion. Salomas, or Salome, is another figure present at the crucifixion and the empty tomb, often identified as the mother of the apostles James and John.

Strigel's composition is notable for its serene and contemplative atmosphere, achieved through the use of soft lighting and harmonious color palettes. The figures are depicted with a sense of realism and individuality, reflecting the artist's keen observation of human expression and form. The background, though simple, enhances the spiritual focus of the scene, directing the viewer's attention to the interactions and emotions of the figures.

This painting is a testament to Strigel's ability to convey complex theological themes through accessible and relatable imagery. It also highlights the artist's contribution to the development of religious art during the Northern Renaissance, a period marked by a renewed interest in naturalism and detailed representation. Today, "Cleophas and Mary of Cleophas, Salomas and Mary Salome" remains an important work for understanding the devotional practices and artistic innovations of the early 16th century.
