EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, Ms 322 f. 41v, Psalm 38, initial D, Judgement of Solomon. Created by the talented William de Brailes around the year 1250, this illustration is part of the De Brailes Psalter collection held at New College in Oxford. The image depicts an unfinished yet striking initial "D" that represents wisdom and justice. At its center lies the legendary story of King Solomon's judgement. The wise king presides over a dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of a child. With his discerning gaze and regal presence, Solomon listens attentively as he prepares to deliver his verdict. Gothic influences are evident in this illuminated manuscript with its intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to every stroke on vellum. The artist skillfully captures not only the intensity of the moment but also conveys a sense of maternal love through delicate portrayals of both mothers involved in this emotional trial. As we delve into this ancient artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important biblical event unfold before our eyes. This image serves as a reminder that wisdom and justice have always been highly valued virtues throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now appreciate and explore these masterpieces from centuries ago without leaving our modern world behind.
