Head of John the Baptist — Geschichte & Fakten

Auf Wunsch seiner Stieftochter Salome befahl Herodes die Enthauptung von Johannes dem Täufer. Sie erhielt seinen Kopf auf einem Teller. Dieses makabre Thema – oft als Johannes in disco (Johannes auf einem Teller) bezeichnet – wird hier dargestellt.

Der Teller fehlt jedoch. Der totenblasse Alabaster, der offene Mund und die Zunge sowie die tiefen Augenhöhlen verstärken den harten Realismus.
