context_page_description: Salome with the Head of John the Baptist is a c.1527 oil on panel painting by Bernardino Luini. It was in the Imperial Gallery in Vienna until 1773, when it was swapped for another work and arrived in Florence, where it now hangs in the Uffizi Gallery. Six autograph variants of the work are also now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Louvre, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Prado Museum and prince Borromeo's collection in Isolabella.
context_section_description: At the time of its arrival in Florence it was attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but was reattributed to Luini by Gouthiez based on an 1890 inventory - Beltrami dated it to c.1527-1530, late in Luini's life. Art historians argue Salome's face was based on Leonardo's drawing Head of a Woman (Parma).
