Solomon Worshiping an Idol, ca. 1514 - A Captivating Biblical Scene in Black and White
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Lucas van Leyden's masterpiece, "Solomon Worshiping an Idol" created around 1514. As a renowned Dutch artist of the Renaissance period, van Leyden skillfully depicts a powerful biblical scene that resonates with viewers even today. In this woodcut artwork, we witness King Solomon kneeling before a statue, engaging in idolatry—a grave sin according to his Hebrew heritage and religious beliefs.
