"Herod's Banquet" is a fresco attributed to the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes painted by Fra Angelico in the 1440s for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts the biblical story of the birthday feast of Herod Antipas, where Salome, Herod's stepdaughter, performs a dance that so pleases Herod that he promises to grant her any wish. Prompted by her mother, Herodias, Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist, which is subsequently presented to her on a platter.

Fra Angelico is renowned for his devout spirituality and the serene and pious nature of his works, which often reflect his monastic life and the theological currents of his time. His frescoes at the Convent of San Marco are considered some of his finest works and are notable for their simplicity, clarity of composition, and the use of light. "Herod's Banquet" is particularly significant as it showcases Fra Angelico's skill in conveying complex narratives within a single scene, as well as his ability to infuse his religious subjects with a sense of humanity and emotion.

The fresco is executed with a delicate palette and attention to detail that are characteristic of Fra Angelico's style. The figures are arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye toward the central action of the banquet and the fateful request by Salome. The work is imbued with a moral and didactic purpose, reflecting the values of the Dominican order to which Fra Angelico belonged.

"Herod's Banquet" remains an important example of Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance. It is preserved in situ in the Convent of San Marco, which is now a museum, allowing visitors to experience the fresco within its original monastic context.
