EDITORS COMMENTS
The Judgment of Solomon, a captivating fresco from Pompeii, takes us back to the glory of Roman Art in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. This remarkable piece, dating back to the first century AD during the Imperial Period, showcases Europe's ancient civilization at its finest. The photograph captured around 1900 beautifully preserves this mural painting that depicts an iconic scene from biblical history. In it, we witness King Solomon showcasing his wisdom and discernment as he resolves a dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of a child. The subject matter is both intriguing and thought-provoking, offering glimpses into ancient storytelling and moral dilemmas faced by people during that time. The figures portrayed in elaborate costumes reflect the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during the Imperial Period. Their attire transports us to an era where elegance was paramount even amidst political power struggles. As we marvel at their regal presence, we are reminded of Solomon's significance as one of Israel's greatest kings. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Roman artistic mastery but also highlights how stories from religious texts like the Old Testament permeated various aspects of life in ancient civilizations. It stands as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with spirituality and cultural heritage throughout human history. Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this masterpiece while preserving its historical value for generations to come. This print invites us on a journey through time – immersing ourselves in Roman Artistry while contemplating timeless themes such as justice, wisdom, and humanity.
