EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts King Solomon, the legendary monarch of the United Kingdom of Israel, as described in the Old Testament's Book of Kings, Chapter 3. The image, created by the renowned 19th-century French artist Gustave Dore (1832-1883), beautifully captures the wisdom and majesty of this ancient ruler. King Solomon, believed to have reigned from approximately 1011 to 928 BC, is renowned for his unparalleled wisdom, wealth, and power. He is said to have built the Temple in Jerusalem, which was considered one of the wonders of the ancient world. In this engraving, Solomon is depicted in the prime of his life, with a full, flowing beard, and wearing a magnificent crown adorned with precious stones. He is shown holding a scepter in his right hand, symbolizing his royal authority, while his left hand rests gently on a column, perhaps signifying his contemplative nature and deep understanding. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the rich colors, transport us back to the 10th century BC and allow us to imagine the grandeur and splendor of Solomon's court. This work of art, created by one of the greatest artists of the 19th century, continues to inspire awe and fascination, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of the biblical story of King Solomon.
