Herodias is a painting by the French artist Paul Delaroche, completed in 1843. The work is a historical genre painting, a style for which Delaroche was renowned in the 19th century. It depicts Herodias, a figure from the New Testament, who is traditionally associated with the beheading of John the Baptist. In the Gospels, Herodias is described as the wife of Herod Antipas and is infamous for her role in the execution of John the Baptist, who had condemned her marriage to Herod as unlawful.

Delaroche's painting captures Herodias at the moment she receives the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter, a request she made through her daughter Salome after Salome's dance pleased Herod Antipas. The artwork is characterized by its dramatic presentation and meticulous attention to historical detail, which is typical of Delaroche's approach to painting. He often blended theatricality with a realistic depiction of historical scenes, making his works popular with audiences of his time.

The painting is an oil on canvas and reflects Delaroche's academic style, which combined precise technique with emotional intensity. The somber color palette and the intense gaze of Herodias as she contemplates the severed head create a powerful psychological portrait. This work is part of a larger body of Delaroche's art that explores themes of power, betrayal, and moral consequence, often set against the backdrop of significant historical events.

Herodias by Paul Delaroche is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Delaroche's impact on 19th-century French painting. The painting is also an example of the artist's engagement with religious and historical subject matter, which was common among European artists of the period. Delaroche's Herodias remains an important work for the study of French Romanticism and the broader context of European historical painting.
