EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Judgment of Solomon" by Frans Floris. The oil on panel painting, measuring 123x208 cm, is housed in the prestigious Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. The scene depicted in this masterpiece portrays King Solomon's legendary wisdom and justice as he resolves a complex dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of a particular child. In an audacious move, Solomon suggests cutting the living child in half to divide it between them. However, when one woman selflessly relinquishes her claim to save the infant's life, Solomon astutely discerns her genuine maternal instincts. Floris skillfully captures this pivotal moment with remarkable detail and emotion. The composition radiates religious significance and highlights themes of female strength, wisdom, and motherhood. This biblical narrative from the Old Testament serves as a timeless reminder of human nature's complexities and our innate desire for justice. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness King Solomon's wise ruling unfold before our eyes. It is through these artistic masterpieces that we can appreciate not only their aesthetic beauty but also their profound storytelling abilities that transcend time and connect us with our shared cultural heritage.
