That's awesome. I love creepy biblical ones. Reminds me of the famous one with doubting Thomas sticking his fingers in Jesus's wounds.

on the subject of weird biblcal paintings.

one day i took a really slow walk through that section of the philadelphia art museum. I had never really gone through there slowly and absorbed all the strange and complicated imagry. As the years passed the paintings got more and more insane with more and more detail.

after leaving, i finally understood why modernism happened.

I don't think that is a weird painting. Salome is a classic subject- there are hundreds like it!

While we're talking about freaky old art, does anyone else think H. R. Giger made a career out of ripping off William Blake?

It's been a while since I was there, but isn't there a painting of John the Baptist's head on a platter at Jefferson's Monticello?
