Johann Peter Schwanthaler der Ältere
(1720 Ried - 1795 ebenda)
Salome mit dem Haupt des Johannes
Lindenholz, geschnitzt. Überaus fein und detailreich ausgeführtes Relief mit einer szenischen Darstellung der Enthauptung von Johannes des Vorläufers bzw. der Übergabe des Hauptes an Salome. Beschrieben wird das Martyrium des Heiligen in den Texten von Matthäus, Markus und Lukas. Johannes war von König Herodes ins Gefängnis geworfen worden, weil er gegen dessen Entscheidung gepredigt hatte, Herodias, die Frau seines Bruders, zu heiraten. Salome plante mit ihrer Mutter, Johannes loszuwerden, tanzte verführerisch vor Herodes und forderte danach als Belohnung den Kopf von Johannes dem Täufer. Herodes stimmte widerwillig zu, und der Kopf des Heiligen wurde Salome auf einer Platte überreicht. Minim. rest.; 27 cm x 38 cm.
Ein Relief mit der gleichen Szene, ebenfalls aus der Hand des J. P. Schwanthaler, jedoch viel früher, um 1750 entstanden, befindet sich im Belvedere in Wien, Inv.-Nr. 2048. In der gleichen Sammlung befindet sich ein Relief von J. P. Schwanthaler, welches ebenfalls um 1750 entstanden ist und die Taufe Christi zeigt, Inv.-Nr. 2047.
Beigefügt: Gutachten des beeideten und gerichtlich zertifizierten Sachverständigen KommR. Prof. hc. Peter Kössl, Ried im Innkreis, 15. Dezember 2019.
Provenienz: Ehemals Sammlung Prof. Dr. Rudolf Leopold, Wien.
