EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgment of Solomon" a stunning color lithograph created by an English School artist in the 19th century. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was originally featured in the book "Illuminated Illustrations of the Bible copied from select Manuscripts of the Middle Ages" by J O Westwood and published by William Smith in 1846. "The Judgment of Solomon" depicts a powerful biblical scene where King Solomon is faced with a difficult decision. Two women claim to be the mother of an infant, and it is up to Solomon to determine who speaks the truth. In his wisdom, he suggests cutting the baby in half so that each woman can have an equal share. However, when one woman shows selflessness and offers to give up her claim for the child's safety, Solomon recognizes her as the true mother. This color lithograph beautifully captures this pivotal moment in history with its intricate details and vibrant colors. It not only serves as a visual representation of this biblical story but also highlights aspects such as illumination techniques used during medieval times. Displayed within this print are elements that transport us back to a significant period - from manuscripts and historical references to medieval artistry and late middle-age aesthetics. This artwork stands as both a testament to artistic skill and storytelling prowess throughout history.
