EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork titled "Judgment Solomon" by Hans von Kulmbach, a renowned German artist from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Created around 1510-1515, this masterpiece is executed with pen and brown ink, enhanced by delicate gray washes. The image depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history - the Judgment of Solomon. The wise King Solomon sits on his throne, surrounded by two women who claim to be the mother of a child. With great discernment, he suggests dividing the baby in half to settle their dispute. However, it is his astute observation of one woman's selfless love for her child that ultimately reveals her as the true mother. Von Kulmbach's attention to detail and skillful use of shading bring life to this scene. Every stroke captures emotions ranging from anxiety and desperation to hope and relief. The composition exudes an aura of wisdom and authority through its balanced arrangement. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an iconic biblical story but also an exquisite example of Renaissance artistry at its finest. This piece serves as a testament to Von Kulmbach's talent as well as his contribution to German art during this period.
