"Salome Riceve La Testa Del Battista" (Salome Receives the Head of the Baptist) is a significant work by the Italian Baroque painter Carlo Sellitto, created in the early 17th century. This painting is a vivid representation of the biblical story of Salome, who, upon the request of her mother Herodias, asked for the head of John the Baptist as a reward for her dance before Herod Antipas. Sellitto's interpretation of this dramatic and macabre scene is noted for its emotional intensity and masterful use of color and light, characteristics that align with the Baroque movement's emphasis on expressing the dramatic potential of religious narratives.

Carlo Sellitto (1581–1614) was a Neapolitan painter, one of the early adopters of Caravaggio's revolutionary use of chiaroscuro and naturalism in the depiction of religious and mythological themes. "Salome Riceve La Testa Del Battista" stands out in Sellitto's oeuvre for its dramatic composition and the psychological depth with which he imbues his figures. The painting showcases Sellitto's skill in blending realism with a profound sense of the dramatic, capturing the moment's gravity through the expressions and gestures of its figures.

The artwork serves not only as a representation of a biblical story but also as an exploration of themes such as innocence versus culpability, the power dynamics within familial and political structures, and the consequences of desire and manipulation. Sellitto's Salome is often interpreted as a complex character caught in the web of her family's ambitions, reflecting broader societal concerns about innocence, power, and moral responsibility.

"Salome Riceve La Testa Del Battista" is considered an important work in the study of Baroque painting in Naples, illustrating the transition from the Renaissance emphasis on idealized beauty and harmony to the Baroque's more emotional and realistic portrayals. The painting is a testament to Sellitto's brief but impactful career, during which he contributed significantly to the development of Neapolitan painting in the early 17th century. Through this work, Sellitto cements his legacy as a key figure in the Baroque artistic movement, demonstrating his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through his art.
