Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung
Wilde’s symbolist play Salomé (1894) would certainly not be the same without Aubrey Beardsley’s illustrations on the English version.
The essay examines one of the most significant scenes in the play: the dance of the seven veils. Firstly, Beardsley’s illustration “The Stomach Dance” (1894) is analysed. Subsequently, two earlier paintings of the same subject, by Benozzo Gozzoli and Gustave Moreau, will be introduced and compared to Beardsley’s representation.
“For Aubrey: for the only artist who, besides myself, knows what the dance of the seven veils is and can see the invisible dance. Oscar”
