‘salomé’ - francisco masriera (1888)
contrary to the title, this painting more likely depicts judith - the woman who was able to behead a drunken assyrian general that was to destroy her home, holofernes, after he allowed her to enter his tent due to his great desire for her. her story, in the book of judith, was removed from the early christian bible and she was instead depicted as a type of the praying virgin.
