EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "And the King said, Divide the living child in two" takes us back to the mid-late 19th century and depicts a biblical scene from 1 Kings 3:25. The engraving showcases an intense moment known as The Judgement of Solomon, where King Solomon is faced with a difficult decision between two women claiming to be the mother of a baby. The image captures the tension and drama surrounding this pivotal moment. On one side stands a compassionate woman, pleading with her king to spare the child's life and give him to her rival. Her love for her son shines through as she selflessly puts his well-being above all else. In stark contrast, we see another woman who coldly suggests dividing the child in half without any regard for his life or maternal bond. Peter Lightfoot's masterful engraving skillfully brings this story to life by capturing both emotional expressions and intricate details. The composition highlights not only the characters involved but also symbolizes themes such as faith, mercy, cruelty, jealousy, and justice. As viewers gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork from centuries past, it serves as a reminder of timeless human dilemmas that require wise judgment and compassion. It invites contemplation on our own capacity for empathy and reminds us of how crucial it is to prioritize love over selfish desires when making decisions that impact others' lives profoundly.
