EDITORS COMMENTS
Salomon's Judgement (Le jugement de Salomon) captured in this 16th-century oil on wood print by Francois Pourbus l'Aine and Frans Pourbus de Oudere is a mesmerizing depiction of biblical wisdom and justice. The painting, housed in the Cathedrale de Notre-Dame in Tournai, Belgium, showcases the renowned artistic skills of these talented artists. In this scene from the Bible, King Salomon presides over a dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of an infant child. With great poise and discernment, Salomon proposes cutting the baby in half as a means to settle their argument. However, it is his keen observation that reveals the true mother's selflessness when she willingly offers to give up her claim so that her child may live. The artwork beautifully captures not only the intense emotions of both mothers but also highlights their contrasting characters through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. It serves as a powerful reminder of maternal love and sacrifice while showcasing religious devotion. This masterpiece stands as a testament to Pourbus' mastery of technique and composition during the 16th century. Its inclusion within cultural heritage museums further emphasizes its significance as an important work of art for both Belgian history and European religious iconography. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic biblical event that continues to resonate with audiences today.
