Salome 2 (Stuck)

This fascinating variation of Franz von Stuck’s “Salome” is offered in a very vertical (long) format that exacerbates the lasciviousness of the posture. The young woman’s body stretches into an ecstatic dance, throwing her head back in morbid enjoyment. Her milky skin and the golden reflections of her heavy jewelry stand out sumptuously from the long, sparkling green skirt she wears, which seems made of snake scales. The background is an infinite starry night, giving the scene a resolutely cosmic and supernatural aura. On the side, the blinding light emanating from the severed head resting on a platter serves as a violent reminder of the bloody price of this cruel seduction. A hypnotic incarnation of desire and death.
