Sulla scultura

Small scale virtuoso sculpture formed an important part of many cabinet collections. They usually represented classical or biblical subject matter with an emphasis on physical action and the representation of nude or partially nude figures. In this case, the eroticised representation of Salome, with her bared breast and seductive gaze over her left shoulder is typical. The group was carved in boxwood, a suitable material for small-scale works, in the Southern Netherlands in about 1600. The executioner once held John the Baptist's severed head aloft. Several other figures of Salome from similar groups have survived, attesting to the popularity of this subject in the years around 1600.
