    The End of a Reign,1893 by Jean Delville This rather grisly image of a decapitated head obvious reminds one of similar heads often represented in art of the late nineteenth century, especially that of victims of women like Salome and Judith. The face, which could be either male or female, could therefore might might also represent the head of Salome herself. [ also  in bw from victorianweb]

    Richard Müller’s precocious draftsmanship earned him early admission, at 16, to the Dresden Academy. In 1895, his career as a painter already well-established, he sought out Max Klinger, then at the height of his fame as Germany’s pre-eminent Symbolist, who taught Müller the techniques of etching. For the most part Müller avoided social themes, that aspect of Klinger’s oeuvre pursued by his other major disciple, Käthe Kollwitz. Rather, Müller was to emphasize symbol and metaphor in his fantastic, sometimes macabre, images. At the same time, by contrast, he frequently displays an ironic wit and engaging whimsy. His nudes are courted by grotesque animals and birds, while his bear-artist performs for a monkey public. Though awarded the Prix de Rome in 1897, Müller abandoned etching after 1924 in favor of rather grimly realistic drawings and paintings. He was a prominent professor for 35 years at the Dresden Academy, where his students included Otto Dix and George Grosz. On these he seems to have been influential chiefly in provoking a reaction however, as he steadfastly resisted the waves of expressionism and modernism sweeping Germany early in the century. Following several decades of neglect — a fate shared by his mentor, Klinger — Müller’s resurgence began in 1974 with a major exhibition at Galerie Brockstedt in Hamburg, and another at the Picadilly Gallery, London the following year. [thanks to articles & texticles] Ex libris for Leonhard Fanto and more work available at Galerie Saxonia [guess i haven’t been digging deep enough ‘till now;]
