"Salome with the Head of John the Baptist before Herod" (Italian: "Salomè con la testa del Battista davanti a Erode") is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Lionello Spada. The work, dating from the early 17th century, is a dramatic depiction of the biblical story of Salome, who, after performing the Dance of the Seven Veils, requests and receives the head of John the Baptist on a platter as a reward from her stepfather, King Herod Antipas.

Lionello Spada (1576–1622) was a prominent painter of the Bolognese School, trained under the Carracci family, who were instrumental in the development of the Baroque style in painting. Spada is known for his use of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture intense emotional moments, as evidenced in this work.

In "Salome with the Head of John the Baptist before Herod," Spada's mastery of light and shadow is evident, creating a stark contrast between the figures and the dark background. The painting captures the moment of Salome's presentation of the severed head, with various figures reacting to the gruesome sight. Herod, often depicted as perplexed or horrified by the fulfillment of Salome's request, is shown in the company of his guests, who display a range of emotions.

The composition is notable for its dynamic arrangement of figures and the psychological intensity conveyed through their expressions and gestures. Spada's work reflects the influence of Caravaggio, with whom he briefly collaborated, in its naturalism and the dramatic use of light.

"Salome with the Head of John the Baptist before Herod" is a significant example of Spada's contribution to Baroque painting, demonstrating his skill in narrative composition and his ability to engage viewers with the unfolding drama. The painting is a testament to the enduring fascination with this biblical story and its interpretation by artists throughout history.
