The Apparition (French: L'Apparition) is a painting by French artist Gustave Moreau, painted between 1874 and 1876. It shows the biblical character of Salome dancing in front of Herod Antipas with a vision of John the Baptist's severed head.
Salome is depicted as a beautiful young woman, dressed in the finest clothing, while carrying the severed head of John the Baptist in a charger. She smiles, joyfully, and expresses no remorse with the macrabe trophy that she carries. Another woman, possibly a servant, looks from the left, while a young black page is seen at the bottom right.
