ティツィアーノ・ヴェチェッリオ（1485/90年～1576年）はイタリア・ルネサンスを代表する画家のひとりです。その作品は後の画家にとっては模範であり続け、また王室や美術館のコレクションでは特に大切にされてきました。　この作品は、晩年の画家が制作したものです。主題は新約聖書に物語られる、洗礼者聖ヨハネとサロメのエピソードから採られています。ある日サロメは父ヘロデ王の宴会で踊りを披露します。それがあまりに見事だったため、ヘロデは何でも望むものを与えると約束したところ、彼女は憎んでいたヨハネの首を所望しました。絵にはこちらを見下ろしてヨハネの首を差し出すサロメが描かれています。ティツィアーノはその色彩の美しさによって賞賛されましたが、ここでもその美質はいかんなく発揮されています。とりわけサロメの衣服や真珠のネックレス、たすき掛けにされた宝石や左肩の留め金具には目を奪われます。　ティツィアーノは生涯を通じてほとんどヴェネツィアを離れることはありませんでしたが、その作品はローマ教皇や神聖ローマ皇帝をはじめとするヨーロッパ各地の上流階級に求められました。注文が殺到したために彼の作品を手に入れるのは至難の業だったようです。大きな需要に応えるため、画家はやがて大規模な工房を組織して注文をさばくシステムを作ります。この作品についても、おそらく工房が関わっているだろうと思われます。というのも、同じ構図の作品がいくつか知られているからです。原型となる構図をもとにして工房がある程度まで描き、最終的にティツィアーノが仕上げをしたと考えられますが、ティツィアーノは相当な部分に手を入れているようです。X線写真を見ると、サロメの右腕や侍女の首は当初は布で覆われていたことが分かりますが、通常工房作ではこれほど大胆な描き直しはしないからです。また、サロメの服や装飾の描き方は大変優れていて、ティツィアーノの手を認めるのが妥当です。　この作品はカンヴァス裏に残る王冠と「CR」の文字から、かつてイギリス国王チャールズ1世のコレクションにあったことが分かります。清教徒革命によって1649年に彼が処刑された後は、クロムウェルの指示で国民評議会の装飾として利用されました。おそらくクロムウェルは画中の女性を旧約聖書のヒロインで敵の猛将ホロフェルネスの首を切ったユディトと勘違いし、チャールズ1世を斬首した自分と重ね合わせたのでしょう。激動の歴史に立ち会ったことも、この絵の興味深い点です。（出典: ゼフュロス: 国立西洋美術館ニュース, 第52号, 2012年. pp. 1-2）

Tiziano Vecellio, called Titian and workshop

Pieve di Cadore, ca. 1485/90 (?) - Venice, 1576

Salome with the Head of St. John the Baptist

Date	c. 1560-70
Materials and Techniques	oil on canvas
Size（cm）	90 x 83.3
Standard ref.	Humfrey 256
Category	Paintings
Collection Number	P.2011-0002

This is a late work by Titian, master painter of the Italian Renaissance. Although parts of it were started by his workshop, the hand of Titian is evident in the subject's vividly colored costume and jewelry. The same is true of Salome's right arm and the neck of the maid, which X-ray examination has shown to be extensively over-painted. The work refers to an episode described in the New Testament in which Salome displays the head of John the Baptist, the reward she sought for dancing at a banquet for her father King Herod.
