"The Feast of Herod" is a significant painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1635–1638. This dynamic and dramatic work of art depicts the biblical story of the beheading of John the Baptist, as recounted in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. The scene takes place during a banquet held by Herod Antipas, where Salome, Herod's stepdaughter, performs a dance that so pleases Herod that he promises to grant her any wish. Prompted by her mother, Herodias, who bore a grudge against John for denouncing her marriage to Herod, Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

Rubens, known for his masterful use of color and movement, captures the moment of horror and surprise as Salome presents the head to Herod and his guests. The painting is a prime example of Rubens' ability to convey complex emotions and narrative through his vigorous brushwork and composition. The figures in the painting are rendered with a sense of weight and volume, characteristic of Rubens' style, and the use of chiaroscuro enhances the dramatic effect of the scene.

"The Feast of Herod" is part of Rubens' mature period, where he had fully developed his skill in depicting flesh and fabric, as well as his understanding of human psychology. The work is noted for its intricate interplay of gazes and gestures among the figures, which guides the viewer's eye throughout the composition, emphasizing the unfolding drama.

The painting is held in a prominent public collection and has been the subject of scholarly analysis for its artistic and historical significance. It is often cited as an example of Rubens' expertise in historical and religious subjects, and it continues to be studied for its technique and its place within the broader context of European Baroque art.
