About Caravaggio and Salome Receives the Head of John the Baptist (1609)

Caravaggio (1571–1610) painted this picture around 1609–1610 in Naples, in the last months of his life. The story comes from the Gospel of Mark: John had condemned King Herod's marriage to his brother's wife, and her daughter, traditionally called Salome, asked for his head as her reward for dancing. Painted in oil on canvas and measuring about 92 x 107 cm, it is in the National Gallery in London.
