EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble sculpture depicts the famous biblical story of "The Judgement of Solomon" by Simon Troger, an Austrian ivory carver from the 18th century. The intricate details and craftsmanship in this piece truly bring the Old Testament tale to life.
In this scene, King Solomon is presented with a difficult decision involving two women claiming to be the mother of a child. With wisdom and discernment, he suggests cutting the child in half to satisfy both women's claims. The true mother reveals herself by selflessly offering to give up her claim in order to save her child's life.
The artist captures this moment of tension and emotion beautifully, showcasing the power and complexity of human relationships. The expressions on the faces of both women convey their desperation and love for the child, while King Solomon sits calmly at his throne, ready to deliver his wise judgement.
This masterpiece serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion, empathy, and justice in our lives. It is a timeless representation of moral dilemmas that continue to resonate with audiences today.
