"Salome con la Testa del Battista" (Salome with the Head of John the Baptist) is a Baroque painting by Italian artist Stefano Danedi, also known as Stefano Montalti (1634–1703). The artwork delves into the biblical narrative of Salome, the daughter of Herodias, who infamously requested the head of John the Baptist on a platter as a reward for her dance at King Herod's banquet, as recounted in the Gospels of Matthew (14:1–12) and Mark (6:14–29).

Danedi, a Milanese painter, was a pupil of the prominent artist Ercole Procaccini the Younger and later became a significant figure in the Lombard school of painting. His work is characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque period, and a focus on religious and mythological subjects. "Salome con la Testa del Battista" exemplifies these traits, showcasing Danedi's skill in capturing the emotional intensity of the scene and the psychological complexity of its characters.

The painting portrays the moment Salome receives the severed head of John the Baptist, a subject that has fascinated artists for centuries due to its combination of beauty, horror, and moral ambiguity. Danedi's interpretation is likely to reflect the Baroque fascination with theatricality and the exploration of human emotions under extreme circumstances.

While the exact date of creation for "Salome con la Testa del Battista" is not well-documented, it is presumed to have been painted during the height of Danedi's career in the late 17th century. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception over time are not readily available in public records, which limits a comprehensive understanding of its historical and artistic significance.

As an artist, Stefano Danedi's contributions to the Baroque movement in Italy are recognized, though he may not be as widely known as some of his contemporaries. "Salome con la Testa del Battista" remains an important work for the study of Danedi's oeuvre and the broader context of Baroque art, offering insight into the era's aesthetic preferences and cultural preoccupations.
