Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) was born to an important family from Cadore in 1490, and would arrive in Venice around 1500-1502. Titian would develop his Venitian style and soon recived commissions from patrons such as the Spanish Monarchy. Titian has cemented himself in art history as an influental painter who's legacy inspired many artists.
In this painting we see Salome, an Edomite princess born of Herodias and the wife of Herod Philip I, as she carries the severed head of Saint John the Baptist on a tray, illustrating a Bible passage from Matthew (14:1–11) and Mark (6:22–28).
In this indoor scene with an arch in the background Titian used Salome’s suggestive clothing and the manner in which her bare arm touches the prophet’s hair to generate an eroticism that was customary in early sixteenth-century Venetian depictions of the story.
