"Herodiada" is a painting by Franciszek Zmurko, a renowned Polish artist known for his academic style and sensual female portraits. Created in 1887, this artwork is one of Zmurko's most famous pieces, depicting the biblical character Salome, often identified with the title Herodias's daughter. The painting is a prime example of the 19th-century fascination with Orientalism and the femme fatale motif, which were prevalent themes in European art and literature of the time.

The painting captures Salome in a moment of contemplative stillness, holding the head of John the Baptist on a platter, a subject inspired by the New Testament account. Zmurko's rendition is noted for its rich color palette, meticulous detail, and the sensual portrayal of its subject, which reflects the artist's focus on beauty and eroticism. The artwork's composition and the model's gaze engage the viewer, creating a narrative that is both alluring and disquieting.

"Herodiada" is a testament to Zmurko's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his work. The painting is often analyzed in the context of the decadent movement and the portrayal of powerful women in art. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Franciszek Zmurko and is a significant work within the canon of Polish 19th-century painting. The piece is housed in a notable collection, often displayed in a museum setting, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
