About this work

Artist: Franz von Stuck (1863–1928)
Year: 1906
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Lenbachhaus, Munich
Movement: Symbolism

Salome dances bare-breasted against a midnight sky full of stars, her head thrown back in a smile and one arm raised, with jewels at her throat, wrists and hair and a pale gauzy skirt at her hips. At the lower right a dark-skinned servant holds out the head of John the Baptist on a dish, ringed by a blue halo. Stuck painted the subject in 1906, drawing among other things on Oscar Wilde's play, which cast Salome as a femme fatale. He made more than one version that year; this canvas is in the Lenbachhaus in Munich.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Midnight blue, pale skin and glinting jewels make a dramatic, adult picture for a study, dressing room or dark-walled living room. Pair it with Rossetti's Proserpine, another fatal beauty, at 16×24 in a black frame.

Style: Symbolism painting
Era: 20th century (1906)
Orientation: Portrait
Mood: grand
Rooms: living room, study or library, dining room
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — black suits the deep tones of this period; dark wood warms it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Salome in the public domain?

Yes. Franz von Stuck (1863–1928) died more than 70 years ago and the work was made and first published more than 95 years ago, so the painting itself is public domain in the US and Europe. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Lenbachhaus.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18 and 16×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Salome painted, and in what medium?

Salome dates from 1906 and was made in oil on canvas.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 16×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 12×18 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Salome we'd choose 16×24.
