Aubrey Beardsley, Climax, Salome, circa 1900, Lineblock

Sale price¥275,000

Among the illustrations for Salome, "Climax" depicts the most dramatic and shocking scene.
Salome holds the severed head of John the Baptist
She leans close to his face as if intoxicated.

Salome's dress is lavishly decorated with peacock feathers.
On the other hand, Jokanaan's head is depicted as quiet and cold.
Life and death, beauty and decay, love and destruction...
Beardsley sharply confronted these opposing elements in a single painting.

Thin, tense lines, clever decorativeness and spatial composition.
There is also a rhythm of space and form reminiscent of Japonism.
This is one of the pinnacles of Beardsley's art, quiet yet evocative of the viewer's heart.

This is an original antique print produced at that time.
After Beardsley's early death in 1898, a collection of his works was produced by John Lane, who published a number of works including his masterpiece, Salome.
This work is one of the prints included in the John Lane edition.
