オーブリー・ビアズリー ≪おまえの口に口づけしたよ、ヨカナーン≫ 1899年初版
本作は、ビアズリーが1893年に英国の美術誌『ザ・スタジオ（The Studio）』に寄稿した、オスカー・ワイルドの戯曲『サロメ』です。
銀の盆に載せられたヨカナーン（ヨハネ）の生首にサロメが口づけをする、衝撃的なクライマックスシーンが描かれています。
画面には、極端に装飾化された曲線と象徴があふれ、黒と白のコントラストが劇的な余韻を残します。
フランス語のセリフ「J’ai baisé ta bouche, Iokanaan（おまえの口に口づけしたよ、ヨカナーン）」が2度繰り返され、サロメの情念と悲劇性が静かに響き渡ります。
この作品は後にワイルド公認で制作された『サロメ』英語初版の挿絵とは別の構図で、雑誌『ザ・スタジオ』が権利を所有していたため、正式版には再使用されず、描き直しの上で新たな構成となりました。
ビアズリーが1898年に亡くなったのち、彼の代表作『サロメ』などを刊行したジョン・レーン社による1899年の追悼画集に本作も収録され、改めてその異形の美が評価されました。
当時に制作されたオリジナルのアンティーク版画です。

About the condition
This work is an original antique print created over 100 years ago.
All works sold by Rivoli Antiques are genuine pieces of artistic value printed at the time, and are not later reproductions or copies.
Due to their nature, antique prints rarely come with individual certificates of authenticity like contemporary works.
Therefore, where you buy and who is in charge of selecting the works are of utmost importance.
At Rivoli Antiques, we carefully select our items based on the trust we have built through many years of collaboration with museums and experts.
We only introduce works that you can safely add to your collection.
Natural fading and stains may appear over time, but these are also proof of the era the piece has passed through and are elements that convey the texture of the materials and techniques used to create it.
You can also come and see the paintings in person at the gallery to check their condition, so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
