Tête de Jean-Baptiste — Histoire et analyse

À la demande de sa belle-fille Salomé, Hérode ordonna la décapitation de Jean-Baptiste. Elle reçut sa tête sur un plateau. Ce thème macabre – souvent appelé Johannes in disco (Jean sur un plateau) – est représenté ici.

Cependant, le plateau est manquant. Le marbre d'albâtre d'une pâleur mortelle, la bouche ouverte et la langue, ainsi que les orbites profondes renforcent le réalisme brutal.
