EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Solomon's Judgment" a biblical scene depicted in a 15th-century manuscript. In this miniature artwork, created by an unknown artist from the 12th century and housed at the University Library in Coimbra, Portugal, we witness two women fiercely claiming to be the mother of the same child. The image showcases Solomon, known for his wisdom and just rulings, holding a sword while seated on his throne. The baby girl is placed before him as he prepares to make a difficult decision. Both women anxiously extend their arms towards the child, desperately vying for maternal recognition. The illumination technique used in this piece adds depth and vibrancy to every detail. The colors are richly pigmented, enhancing each character's emotions and expressions. This masterpiece not only portrays an ancient dispute but also reflects themes of justice and family dynamics that resonate throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable work by Luisa Ricciarini, we are reminded of how timeless these stories remain. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal struggle for truth and fairness within complex familial relationships. Through its medium-age charm and religious symbolism, this print invites us to contemplate our own notions of parenthood while appreciating the artistic brilliance behind it all.
