"Salome Dancing before Herod" (French: "Salomé dansant devant Hérode") is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, completed in 1876. The work is housed in the Armand Hammer Collection of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, California. This painting is one of Moreau's most famous works and depicts the biblical story of Salome, a popular subject in the decadent movement of late 19th-century art.

In the New Testament, Salome is the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, who performs a dance that so pleases Herod that he offers her anything she desires. Prompted by her mother Herodias, Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist on a platter, leading to the prophet's execution. Moreau's interpretation of the scene is rich in detail and symbolism, reflecting his interest in the exotic and the erotic.

The painting features Salome in an elaborate costume, dancing in Herod's palace, which is filled with onlookers. Moreau's Salome is not depicted in the act of dancing but rather in a moment of contemplation, which adds to the psychological complexity of the scene. The artist's use of vibrant colors and intricate patterns contributes to the overall opulence and decadent atmosphere of the work.

Moreau's "Salome Dancing before Herod" is often regarded as a masterpiece of Symbolist art, encapsulating the movement's fascination with themes of desire, death, and the mystical. The painting's intricate composition and the enigmatic expression on Salome's face have intrigued art historians and critics, leading to various interpretations of its meaning and significance.

This work is a prime example of Moreau's style, which combined the historical precision of the academic tradition with the imaginative approach of Symbolist art. The painting has been influential in the development of Symbolism and has inspired numerous artists, writers, and composers, contributing to the enduring legacy of the Salome myth in Western culture.
