The Italian caption for this 1920s illustration reads: Banchetti Veneziani dal masaico Il Banchetto di Erode Sec XIV. Basilica San Marco Battistero (“Venetian banquets from the mosaic of Herod's Banquet 14th century. In the baptistry of the Basilica San Marco in Venice”). Of all the biblical figures, Salome is certainly one of the most controversial and fascinating. Her story of seduction and death was represented by many artists throughout the ages, such as in the 14th century fantastic mosaics of the Baptistery of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. Above the door of the Baptistery (where the events of St. John the Baptist's life are represented), we see her dancing in a sexy red dress with feathered sleeves, showing her gruesome trophy on a golden plate.
