"Salome Dancing before Herod" is an iconic oil painting created by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau between 1874 and 1876. The painting is a vivid depiction of the biblical story of Salome, a young woman who danced for Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee and Perea, in exchange for the execution of John the Baptist. Moreau's interpretation of the tale is a masterpiece of the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the mystical and the ideal through intricate, dreamlike imagery.

The artwork is renowned for its rich detail, opulent color palette, and the intricate patterns that adorn the figures and the setting, which is characteristic of Moreau's style. Salome is portrayed in the midst of her dance, capturing the attention of Herod and his guests with her beauty and movement. The painting is imbued with a sense of exoticism and decadence, reflecting the 19th-century European fascination with Orientalism and the perceived sensuality of the East.

Moreau's Salome is not just a visual feast; it is also laden with symbolic elements. The figure of Salome has been interpreted in various ways: as an embodiment of femme fatale, a symbol of ultimate beauty, and as a representation of the dangerous power of female sexuality. The work is often seen as a commentary on the decadence of the artist's own society, with Salome's dance symbolizing the seductive allure of art that can lead to moral downfall.

"Salome Dancing before Herod" is part of the collection at the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. The painting stands as one of Moreau's most significant works and continues to be a subject of study for its complex symbolism, its representation of biblical narratives, and its place within the broader context of 19th-century European art.
