"Herodias (fragment Mitubermalungen)" is a painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created in the early 17th century. This artwork is notable for being a fragment of a larger piece, which has been subjected to overpainting, a process where later artists or restorers add new layers of paint to the original work, either to restore damaged areas or to alter the appearance of the painting. The subject of the painting, Herodias, is a figure from the New Testament, infamous for her role in the story of the beheading of John the Baptist.

Rubens, renowned for his exuberant and dynamic style, often depicted scenes from history, mythology, and religion with a dramatic flair and rich color palette. While the full scope of the original painting is unknown due to its fragmentary state, "Herodias (fragment Mitubermalungen)" still exhibits the artist's skill in rendering figures with emotional intensity and his mastery of chiaroscuro—the contrast of light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume.

The fragment's provenance and the extent of the overpainting are subjects of interest to art historians, as they provide insights into the artwork's history and the practices of art conservation and restoration in the periods following its creation. Despite the alterations, the work retains its artistic significance as a piece by Rubens and as an example of the challenges faced in preserving and understanding art from the past.

As a fragment, "Herodias (fragment Mitubermalungen)" offers a tantalizing glimpse into Rubens' oeuvre, inviting speculation about the original composition and the narrative it might have depicted. It remains an important work for study, both for its intrinsic artistic value and for what it can teach us about the evolving nature of art and its interpretation over the centuries.
