Frame in sculpted, carved, gilded wood Publications: La croce, la testa, il piatto. Storie di San Giovanni Battista, exhibition and catalogue curated by Massimo Pulini, (12 June - 24 October 2010), Galleria Comunale d’arte - Biblioteca Malatestiana, Cesena, pp. 174-175. Cavaliere Paolo Guidotti, also known as il Cavalier Borghese (Lucca, 1559 - 1629) was an Italian painter, sculptor and architect. He was mainly active in Rome, Lucca, his hometown, Reggio Emilia and Naples. His paintings and frescoes enriched many churches in Rome and Naples. The painting depicts the moment when the executioner hands Salome the head of the Baptist. Various characters assemble around a very young and astonished Salome as she receives the severed head of St. John on a plate. Among the characters surrounding the young girl is the executioner, ha has a sword in his hand and his face is marked by deep furrows. The other figures in the painting are mere onlookers who have gathered to witness the scene. Among them is a young soldier with piercing eyes who looks straight at the spectator. The princess that Guidotti decided to portray is a little girl who’s looking sadly at the Saint's head.

18th century allegorical painting of The Triumph of Beauty
Located in London, GB
Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1800, no. 93 What was happening in British history painting in around 1800? In recent discussions of the emergence of a British School of history painting following the foundation of the Royal Academy in 1768, this is a question which is rarely posed and one which is not easily answered. Examination of surviving Royal Academy exhibition catalogues reveals a profusion of artists’ names and titles, few of which remain immediately recognizable, whilst endeavours to explain the impact of exhibition culture on painting - such as the 2001 Courtauld show Art on the Line - have tended to focus on the first and second generation of Royal Academician, rather than young or aspiring artists in the early nineteenth century. This makes the discovery and identification of the work under discussion of exceptional importance in making sense of currents in English painting around 1800. Executed by Edward Dayes...
