"Salome III" is a late 19th-century painting by French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau. The work, completed in the 1870s, embodies Moreau's characteristic intricate detail and rich palette, portraying a famous biblically referenced femme fatale. The painting epitomizes the themes of decadence, eroticism, and mysticism prevalent in the fin de siècle Paris, along with the parallel evolution of the Symbolist and Decadent movements.

The composition of "Salome III" is noted for its opulence and Byzantine-inspired aesthetics. Moreau positions the figure of Salome, original to the pages of the New Testament, in an ornate backdrop, enhancing the grandeur and exotica surrounding her story. The painting evokes biblical narratives as well as influences from Orientalist trends that marked 19th-century European art.

Moreau's "Salome III" captures the iconic moment before her dance of the seven veils, holding the prophet John the Baptist's severed head, often considered an emblem of her sexual power. This point of narrative tension, alongside a multi-layered use of symbolism, accentuates both the sensual allure and ominous quality of the enigmatic character.

"Salome III" is part of a series of paintings by Moreau that explore the character of Salome, all of which contribute significantly to his reputation as a luminary of Symbolist art. Today, the painting forms an integral part of diverse interpretations in the studies of 19th-century European art, theology, and gender roles.
