Description:
|
|
This panel is the last on the west wall, painted after Del Sarto's return from France. The figure of the executioner shows greater modeling and sculptural clarity than the earlier panels. John's head is presented to Salome and Herodias, but the tension between their desire and Herod's is represented by the striped baton of authority pointed at them. (Source: McKillop, Susan Regan; Franciabigio, Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1974 (0520016882, 9780520016880))
