EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from Gustave Dore's "The Holy Bible" we are transported back to the biblical era and introduced to Solomon, the wise king of Israel. The image showcases a full-length portrait of Solomon, his face adorned with a magnificent white beard that exudes wisdom and experience. Solomon is depicted deep in thought, troubled by the weighty matters that occupy his mind. With furrowed brows and an intense gaze, he contemplates over scrolls and parchments spread before him. It is as if he seeks answers within these ancient texts, searching for guidance amidst life's complexities. Dressed in regal attire befitting his status as a king, Solomon emanates authority and intelligence. His presence commands respect while also inviting curiosity about the knowledge he possesses. As one of history's most renowned sages, he symbolizes wisdom itself. This powerful illustration captures not only the physical attributes of Solomon but also his inner turmoil and contemplative nature. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders face moments of doubt and introspection on their quest for understanding. Gustave Dore masterfully brings this biblical figure to life through intricate engravings that have stood the test of time. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Solomon's world—a world where knowledge intertwines with power—and invites us to ponder our own pursuit of wisdom in today's complex society.
