Salomé is a painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner, showing the princess Salome from the Bible, who danced before her stepfather Herod Antipas, and who demanded the head of John the Baptist as a reward for her performance.

[2] Tanner and his wife Jessie spent several months in Granada in the beginning of 1903, where he had time to study El Greco's paintings.

[5] The painting was also displayed in 1924, as part of a solo exhibition put on by Tanner at Grand Central Art Galleries in New York City.

[2] The painting was dontated to the Smithsonian's Museum of African Art by Henry's son Jessy O. Tanner in 1975.

Here the holy colors permeate John the Baptist's head, with separation from the blues of sin and judgement.
