EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's engraving of King Solomon, a prominent figure in biblical history. The artwork depicts the moment when Solomon is diligently writing the Proverbs, capturing his commitment to sharing wisdom and understanding with others. Solomon, known as the son of David and king of Israel, sought knowledge and instruction to guide his people justly. The inscription on the engraving highlights this purpose: "To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion". The colorized version adds vibrancy to Dore's intricate illustrations. This masterpiece not only represents an important religious icon but also serves as a testament to literary arts during the 19th century. Gustave Dore was a renowned French artist whose works continue to inspire awe even today. His attention to detail brings life into each stroke of his engravings. Through this piece, he captures both Solomon's significance in Jewish tradition and Christianity's reverence for biblical figures. Whether you are drawn by its religious symbolism or appreciate art from that era, this print offers a glimpse into antiquity while reminding us of timeless values such as wisdom, justice, and equity.
