17th-century Flemish School, from the circle of Rubens: - Lot 53
17th-century Flemish School, from the circle of Rubens: The Feast of Herod. Oil on canvas 162 x 234.5 cm. Restored. A biblical subject depicted several times by Rubens in the early 17th century. During a banquet hosted by Herod, Salome dances before the guests; as a reward, she demands the head of John the Baptist, which is brought in on a platter in the middle of the feast (Matthew 14:10–11). Related Works Several versions or variations of this scene are housed in various museums: - Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels (largely by Rubens’s own hand); - National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh (by Rubens and his studio); - Alte Pinakothek, Munich (Rubens’s studio).
