EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Shadow scene from the Bible" takes us back in time to a moment of biblical significance. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 20th century, this engraving captures a powerful scene from the story of Solomon's judgment. Intriguingly, the image portrays two women standing before King Solomon with their babies. The tension is palpable as both claim to be the mother of one particular child. With wisdom beyond measure, Solomon orders his swordbearer to divide the baby in half so that each woman can have her share. The shadowy figures add an air of mystery and drama to this historical depiction. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where justice hangs in balance and lives are at stake. The innocence and vulnerability of these newborns contrast sharply with the weightiness of their situation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst great power and authority, it is often those who are most defenseless who hold our hearts captive. This thought-provoking artwork not only invites us to reflect on biblical history but also prompts contemplation about our own judgments and decisions. How do we navigate complex situations? Are we willing to sacrifice for what is right? With its rich symbolism and timeless message, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity for introspection while appreciating both artistic skill and historical context.
