EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a print of "The Judgment of Solomon" a remarkable drawing by the renowned artist Nicolas Poussin. Preserved in the esteemed Royal Library in Turin, this artwork showcases the classicism of the 17th century, blending elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles. Dating back to approximately 1625-1665, Poussin's masterpiece depicts an ancient biblical story centered around King Solomon. In this scene, we witness Solomon as a child, displaying his wisdom and discernment through his famous judgment. The composition is filled with various individuals dressed in period costumes that reflect the fashion and clothing prevalent during that era. One cannot help but be drawn to the central figure of young Solomon, exuding nobility and authority beyond his years. With sword in hand, he commands attention while making a difficult decision that will impact people's lives. This portrayal not only highlights physiological aspects but also delves into psychological depths as it explores themes of power and responsibility. "The Judgment of Solomon" holds immense significance within religious history as it derives from the Old Testament Bible stories. Its presence within such an esteemed library further solidifies its importance within European culture during both the first and second millenniums AD. Anderson's skillful photography transports us back to 1917 when this image was captured for posterity. Through Anderson's lens, we are given access to appreciate Poussin's mastery even if we cannot personally visit Turin or witness this awe-inspiring artwork firsthand.
