Salome is the title of two oil on wood paintings by the German artist Franz Stuck, both created in 1906. They depict Salome, daughter of Herod II and Herodias, an historical and biblical figure, dancing with joy as the head of John the Baptist is brought to her by a servant. Stuck was inspired, among other things, by the contemporary play by Oscar Wilde, the focus of which is Salome as a femme fatale.
