About the Item

Triumph der Salome is a black and white héliogravure on cream-colored cardboard realized by Choisy Le Conin, pseudonym of Franz Von Bayros (Agram, 1866 – Vienna, 1924). From Mappe, a portfolio of 50 original prints (héliogravure or cliché from watercolors, of which 14 are colored) made around 1921 by Choisy Le Conin, with a preface of von Rudolph Hans Bartsch and published by Ed. Strache, Wien, Prag, Leipzig. This is the specimen n. 285 on a total circulation of 500 prints. Ours is the most complete original edition. In perfect conditions, with a protective tissue with the title of the subject. This beautiful and original print, represents the glorious triumph of Salome, the daughter of Herod Philip and Herodias famous for the dance she performed during the banquet of Herod Antipas, who granted her as a prize whatever she desired. So Salome asked the head of John the Baptist, who had blamed the incestuous union between Herodias and Herod Antipas. The mythological figure of this woman has inspired in addition to Franz Von Byros, numerous writers and musicians before him, from H. Heine in the Atoll Troll to Oscar Wilde in the drama Salomé (1891), from which the libretto for R. Strauss's Salome (1905) was taken. We should also mention the lyric narrative Salomè by E. de Castro (1896), and the choreographic action Tragédie de Salomé by F. Schmitt (1907). This Modern artwork demonstrates the incredible knowledge of Von Byros and his graphics skills with a wide gradient of greys and his Nouveau style with a strong black contouring line.
