EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Salome with the Head of John the Baptist" by Cornelis Engebrechtsz, a Dutch artist from the late 15th century. The composition depicts Salome, a biblical figure known for her role in requesting and receiving the beheading of John the Baptist. Engebrechtsz's meticulous brushwork and use of black ink create striking contrasts that emphasize Salome's intense gaze as she holds onto John's severed head. The gray wash background adds an eerie atmosphere to this haunting scene, while touches of white gouache bring out subtle highlights and add depth to Salome's features. Measuring approximately 19.8 x 15.6 cm, this print captures every intricate detail of Engebrechtsz's masterpiece on gray prepared paper, with its corners cut for added visual interest. The artwork itself reflects both religious themes and artistic techniques popular during Engebrechtsz's time in the Netherlands. It serves as a reminder of how art can convey powerful narratives and emotions through skillful execution
