Talk: Will the Real Salomé Please Stand Up?
10:00 am - Wednesday, April 14
Salomé, the dancing girl who callously bargained for the beheading of John the Baptist, has captivatingly threaded her way through history in art, literature, and opera. This ancient femme fatale, the subject of Ella Ferris Pell's Salomé (1890) recently exhbited at the Timken, is fascinating to examine historically. Join Timken Docent and USD Professor of Biblical Studies Dr. Florence Gillman for virtual talks about the actual people who have inspired some of the Timken's masterpieces.
