Head of John the Baptist — Storia e analisi

Su richiesta della sua figliastra Salomè, Erode ordinò la decapitazione di Giovanni Battista. Le fu dato il suo capo su un vassoio. Questo tema macabro – spesso chiamato Johannes in disco (Giovanni su un piatto) – è rappresentato qui.

Tuttavia, il vassoio è assente. L'alabastro pallido come la morte, la bocca aperta e la lingua e le orbite oculari infossate rinforzano il crudo realismo.
