"Der Tanz der Salome" (The Dance of Salome) is a painting by the Bohemian-Austrian artist Leopold Schmutzler (1864–1940), known for his portraits and genre paintings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This work is one of Schmutzler's most recognized pieces, depicting the biblical figure Salome, who is infamous for her dance before King Herod and her subsequent request for the head of John the Baptist.

The painting captures the moment of Salome's dance, a subject that has fascinated artists for centuries due to its themes of seduction, power, and tragedy. Schmutzler's interpretation is particularly noted for its sensuality and the detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, which add a tactile quality to the work. The artist's use of color and light emphasizes the drama of the scene, with Salome often portrayed in a lavish, exotic costume, highlighting the opulence and decadence of Herod's court.

"Der Tanz der Salome" reflects the fin-de-siècle fascination with Orientalism and the femme fatale archetype, both popular themes in the art and literature of the period. Schmutzler's work is often associated with the Munich School, a group of artists known for their academic painting style and focus on realism and naturalism.

The painting's historical and cultural significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its reflection of the social and artistic preoccupations of the time. It serves as an example of the intersection between art, mythology, and the gender dynamics of the turn of the century. As with many of Schmutzler's works, "Der Tanz der Salome" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has contributed to the artist's reputation as a significant figure in European academic art.

While the exact date of creation for "Der Tanz der Salome" is not well-documented, it is generally believed to have been painted during the height of Schmutzler's career, when he was most active in producing works that depicted similar themes of beauty and sensuality. The painting remains an important part of Schmutzler's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural implications.
