Marie-Caroline, Duchess of BERRY (1798-1870). P.A.S. "Marie Caroline"; 1page in-8. Curious account of an apparition of Saint Louis in a dream, when she was pregnant with the future Duc de Berry. "Approximately 4 months pregnant and asleep, I saw St. Louis enter my room as he is depicted, with his crown on his head, his great royal coat with fleurs de lys and his venerable figure. I presented him with my daughter, he opened his coat and presented me with the prettiest little boy, he took his own crown and put it on his head. I kept pushing Louise away from him, but he persisted in keeping the crown on the boy's head, and yet sheltered my daughter under his cloak. St Louis then disappeared with my two children, and I woke up convinced that I would have a boy"...

Lombard school; XVI century. "The beheading of the Baptist". Oil on canvas. Relined. Measurements: 50 x 65 cm; 58 x 72 cm (frame). The Lombard school is within the Italian painting, a rarity because it does not present the characteristics that unify others such as the Roman or Venetian. Thus, within this northern school several sub-schools can be distinguished, centered in the cities of Milan, Genoa, Piedmont, Bologna, Cremona, Modena, Ferrara and Parma. However, the term Lombard school is often identified with the Milanese school. In this particular case the work follows the models established by Bernardino Luini (1481 - Milan, 1532), who produced several versions of the same subject, as attested by the works in the Uffizi Gallery (Florence) and the painting in the Prado Museum (Madrid). According to tradition, Salome, a woman of great beauty, danced for her stepfather, who enthusiastically offered to grant her the prize she wished. Then the young woman asked, following her mother's instructions, for the Baptist's head, which was given to her "on a silver platter". This biblical story has often been depicted in painting, as it offers the possibility of depicting exotic settings and half-naked women without abandoning the biblical repertoire, although it is not about this particular work. Salome was a princess, daughter of Herod Philip and Herodias, and stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, related to the death of St. John the Baptist in a story told in the New Testament (Matthew and Mark). Herodias, wife of Herod Philip, married in a scandalous way with the half-brother of this one, Herod Antipas, which provoked a war, since Herod Antipas had repudiated for it his previous wife, daughter of the Nabataean monarch. The attitude of the new marriage was very criticized by the people, since it was considered sinful, and one of those who most denounced it was John the Baptist, for which he was arrested, although Herod did not dare to execute him for fear of the popular wrath. According to tradition, Salome, a woman of great beauty, danced for her stepfather, and he enthusiastically offered to grant her the prize she desired. Then the young woman asked, following her mother's instructions, for the Baptist's head, which was given to her "on a silver platter".
