"Salome with the Head of Saint John the Baptist" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Massimo Stanzione, created in the 17th century. This artwork is a depiction of the biblical story of Salome, the daughter of Herodias, who, after performing a dance that pleased King Herod, requested the head of John the Baptist as a reward. Stanzione's interpretation of this dramatic and macabre scene is a testament to his skill in capturing the emotional intensity and the chiaroscuro technique characteristic of the Baroque period.

The painting portrays Salome holding a platter with the severed head of Saint John the Baptist, often conveying a sense of both triumph and tragedy. Stanzione's use of color, light, and composition emphasizes the gravity of the moment and the complex interplay of innocence and guilt, as well as the themes of power, seduction, and mortality. The work is noted for its detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as the psychological depth given to the figures, particularly Salome, whose expression can be interpreted in various ways.

As a prominent figure of the Neapolitan school of painting, Massimo Stanzione's works are often compared with those of his contemporaries, such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Caravaggio, who also explored similar themes with intense emotional and visual impact. "Salome with the Head of Saint John the Baptist" is considered an important example of Stanzione's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the Baroque artistic movement in Italy. The painting is not only a reflection of the religious and cultural preoccupations of the time but also an enduring example of the power of visual storytelling in the history of art.
