The Feast of Herod

The original bronze sculpture of The Feast of Herod, created by Donatello, now proudly resides at the Russian Academy. This masterpiece depicts a pivotal moment in history: Salome's request for John the Baptist's head on a platter, leading to his beheading. The scene is set in motion as an executioner presents the severed head, while Herod Antipas reacts with shock and horror.
