Sebastiano del Piombo, Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist (1510)

The composition is reminiscent of Renaissance portraits with the inclusion of a window and the distant landscape
















Antonio de Solario, Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist (1510)

Solario's Salome recalls portraits of women in courtly garb. The head of St. John the Baptist, treated in low light, nearly melts into the garment of Salome.




















Lucas Cranach, Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist (1530)

A typical Cranach treatment of a young woman in the garb of the Saxon Court.
