EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, depicting the infamous Judean princess Herodias in triumph. The engraving showcases Herodias carrying the severed head of John the Baptist on a dish, while her daughter Salome lies on the floor in the foreground. In this haunting scene, we witness Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee and Perea during the 1st century AD, observing Salome's dance. The artistry behind this image is truly remarkable. Engraved by Boilvin from an 1870 painting by French artist Henri Leopold Levy (1840-1904), it exudes a sense of depth and emotion that resonates with viewers even today. The use of black and white adds to its dramatic impact, emphasizing both light and shadow. This thought-provoking piece delves into themes such as death, religion, power dynamics between men and women, as well as Christianity itself. It serves as a reminder of historical events intertwined with biblical narratives. With its vertical composition capturing full-length figures amidst a medium group of people, including crockery elements symbolizing decadence and luxury; this engraved image offers an archival glimpse into ancient times. As we contemplate this striking artwork from Archive Photos' Fine Art Storehouse collection - let us reflect upon its profound symbolism and appreciate how it continues to captivate audiences through time.
