| Salome Receives the Head of John the Baptist, circa 1609-10, by CaravaggioThe executioner who lowers the severed head of John the Baptist on to Salome’s platter has a battered, street-worn face with a broken nose. Caravaggio’s early biographers criticised him for never making preparatory drawings but instead painting directly from the model. Even without such testimony, we’d guess that a real individual, someone broken, poverty-stricken and hard, posed as the executioner. Yet it is also a kind of self-portrait, for when he painted this, close to the end of his short life, Caravaggio was a murderer on the run. The bleak desperation of his life hangs in the shadows and infects the pale decapitated head.• National Gallery, London. | Salome Receives the Head of John the Baptist, circa 1609-10, by CaravaggioThe executioner who lowers the severed head of John the Baptist on to Salome’s platter has a battered, street-worn face with a broken nose.
