EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures Pietro da Cortona's masterpiece, "The Idolatry of Solomon" created between 1622 and 1623. This composition is a study for the ceiling fresco in the Palazzo Mattei di Giove in Rome, showcasing da Cortona's exceptional talent as an Italian artist. "The Idolatry of Solomon" depicts a pivotal moment from biblical history when King Solomon succumbs to idol worship due to his infatuation with foreign women. As described in I Kings 11:1-8, these women turned his heart away from God towards their own deities. In this intricate drawing, da Cortona skillfully portrays the chaos and decadence that ensues as Solomon indulges in idolatrous practices. The use of white and blue gouache creates a striking contrast against the brown wash background, enhancing the dramatic effect. With precise brushwork and meticulous attention to detail, da Cortona brings forth a sense of movement within the composition. The framing lines drawn in brown ink further emphasize the grandeur and scale of this monumental artwork. This print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows art enthusiasts to appreciate da Cortona's mastery even outside its original setting at Palazzo Mattei di Giove. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated artists during the seventeenth century.
