サロメ
1899
Lovis Corinth throws us right into the bloody aftermath of the biblical tale of Salomé. Instead of a polished, holy scene, we get a raw, chaotic moment where the dancer holds the severed head of John the Baptist in a bright blue bowl. The brushstrokes are frantic and loose, almost like the artist was painting in a fever dream, capturing the gruesome reality rather than a sanitized myth. The muscular executioner stands by, while Salomé looks down with a mix of fascination and detachment, signaling Corinth's shift toward the emotional intensity of German Expressionism.
