"Salome with the Head of the Baptist" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Onorio Marinari, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Salome, the daughter of Herodias, who, after performing a dance for her stepfather Herod Antipas, requests the head of John the Baptist as a reward. This narrative, derived from the New Testament, has been a popular subject for artists throughout history, and Marinari's interpretation is a notable example from the Baroque period.

Onorio Marinari (1627–1715) was a Florentine painter who was significantly influenced by the dramatic style of Caravaggio and his followers. Marinari's rendition of Salome with the Head of the Baptist is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which serves to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. The painting captures the moment Salome receives the severed head, a subject that allows the artist to explore themes of desire, power, and mortality.

The composition typically features Salome at the center, holding a platter with the head of John the Baptist, often with an expression that mixes satisfaction with an underlying sense of the macabre nature of her request. The details of the painting, such as the luxurious fabrics, the depiction of the head, and the figures surrounding Salome, reflect the Baroque era's emphasis on realism and detail.

"Salome with the Head of the Baptist" by Onorio Marinari is housed in a notable art collection, although the specific location may vary as the painting could be part of temporary exhibitions or on loan to other institutions. The work is an important piece within Marinari's oeuvre and offers insight into the artistic trends and cultural fascinations of the Baroque period in Italy.
