This week : Le Caravage

Le Caravage, Salomé with the head of saint John the Baptist, C. 1609, Oil on canvas, 116×140 cm, Madrid, Royal Palace

I like this work for the realism of the faces

I like this work for the violent light that makes the figures emerge from the darkness

I like this work for the large void on the left

I like this work for the calm atmosphere that emerges despite the tragic subject

And you, what do you think about it ?

    Visual drama! I enjoy this painting for the same reasons. 🙂
