Description

Beheaded: Classical Paintings of Biblical Decapitation brings together over 80 Renaissance and early Baroque period paintings depicting three violent myths from the Bible: Salome's demand for John the Baptist's severed head, Judith's seduction and beheading of Holofernes, and David's felling and beheading of Goliath.

These full-color images are a testament to the artistic fascination with death and violence in European art during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book features works by artists such as Caravaggio, Mattia Preti, and Peter Paul Rubens, among others.

Illuminated Masters is a new series of high-quality art books featuring the work of classical artists from the 15th to 17th centuries. This volume is the first in the series, offering a unique glimpse into the artistic representations of biblical themes during this period.
