Triumph of Princess Salome Painting by Tiago Azevedo Depicting Salome with the head of St. John the Baptist, this painting marked the beginning of a series of female power and women’s wiles.

The idea here is to contrast her beauty and innocent appearance with the dark act committed. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Salome is the daughter of Herodias and stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, ruler appointed by Rome of Galilee, a region in Palestine. In Biblical literature, Salome is remembered as the immediate agent in the execution of John the Baptist. She was twice married, first to the tetrarch Philip, a half brother of her father, Herod Philip, and a son of Herod I the Great and then to Aristobulus son of Herod of Chalcis.
