The Climax (illustration)
''The Climax'' is an 1893 illustration by Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898), a leading artist of the Aesthetic movement during the 1890s. It depicts a scene from Oscar Wilde's play Salome, in which the femme fatale Salome has just kissed the decapitated head of John the Baptist, which she grasps in her hands. Elements of eroticism, symbolism, and Orientalism are present in the piece. This illustration is one of sixteen Wilde commissioned Beardsley to create for the publication of the play. The series is considered to be Beardsley's most celebrated work, created at the age of 21.
== Overview ==
Beardsley was born in Brighton, England, in August 1872. His career was short-lived, as he died from tuberculosis at the age of 25. Nonetheless, he was the most influential artist of the 1890s, leading the Aesthetic and Decadent movements. These movements centered on the idea of ''L'art pour l'art'' (art for art’s sake). Proponents held a strong fascination with sex and a fear of its power, as well as an interest in the perverse and degenerate aspects of a society that at the time highly valued respectability. Beardsley became a well-known public figure after his works were featured in the artistic journal, The Studio. Beardsley’s earlier version of The Climax, ''J’ai baisé ta bouche Iokanaan'', was featured in the journal, and this caught the attention of writer Oscar Wilde, another leader of the Aesthetic movement. Oscar Wilde then commissioned Beardsley to illustrate his play Salome.
