	George Frederic Watts
		George Frederic Watts (23 February 1817 - 1 July 1904) was a Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement.
		Watts was born in London, the son of a piano-maker.
		Visiting Italy, Watts was inspired by Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel, but back in Britain he was unable to obtain a building in which to carry out his plan.

		Portraits by Watts may be seen in the V & A and the National Portrait Gallery.

		George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) was born in London, and first attracted notice in 1843, when his cartoon of Caractacus was chosen in a competition to find murals to decorate the new Houses of Parliament.
		The support of the Ionides family enabled Watts to explore his imagination to the full; he painted a wide range of subjects which otherwise might not have been financially viable.
		In turn, Watts introduced the family to other artists, not least a young man called James Abbott McNeill Whistler, an American who was, of course, destined to be a great painter, and whose work ultimately embellished the Ionides family collection.

		According to the notes by Mrs Watts (Watts Gallery archives), Salome's action of holding up the ring of Herod indicates that responsibility for the death of St John the Baptist is not hers but the King's.
		For Wilde, as for Watts, early visits to Greece and a love of Greek poetry were to be of great inspirational importance.
		During the evolution of the composition of the painting, Watts made wax models after the pose of Phidias's Theseus from the Parthenon pediment, which was the artist's major source of inspiration for the central reclining figure in the composition.
