Cabeza de Juan el Bautista — Historia y Análisis

A petición de su hijastra Salomé, Herodes ordenó la decapitación de Juan el Bautista. Ella recibió su cabeza en un plato. Este tema macabro – a menudo llamado Johannes in disco (Juan en un plato) – se representa aquí.

Sin embargo, el plato falta. El alabastro de un pálido mortal, la boca abierta y la lengua, y las cuencas oculares hundidas refuerzan el crudo realismo.
