"Herod's Banquet" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio, completed around 1486-1490. It is located in the Tornabuoni Chapel within the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The fresco is part of a larger series that depicts scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the life of John the Baptist, who is the patron saint of Florence.

The artwork illustrates the biblical story of the birthday feast of Herod Antipas, where Salome, Herod's stepdaughter, performs a dance that pleases him so much that he promises to grant her any wish. Prompted by her mother, Herodias, who bore a grudge against John the Baptist for denouncing her marriage to Herod, Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. The fresco captures the moment of Salome's dance before the gruesome beheading takes place.

Ghirlandaio's rendition of "Herod's Banquet" is noted for its elaborate architectural setting, attention to detail, and the inclusion of contemporary Florentine figures as guests at the banquet, which was a common practice of Renaissance artists to bridge the biblical past with the present. The fresco is admired for its narrative clarity, compositional skill, and the use of perspective, which reflects Ghirlandaio's mastery of the techniques that were at the forefront of the early Renaissance.

As a significant work of the Florentine Renaissance, "Herod's Banquet" by Domenico Ghirlandaio is a testament to the artist's ability to convey complex stories through his art and his skill in integrating contemporary life with religious themes. The fresco remains an important piece for the study of Renaissance art and continues to attract scholars and visitors interested in the period's cultural and artistic achievements.
