EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgment of Solomon" a masterpiece painted by Francesco Fontebasso in Venice around 1750. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 102.1 x 133.5 cm, capturing the attention to detail and skill of the artist. In this scene, we witness King Solomon's famous judgment as he resolves a dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of a baby. With wisdom and discernment, Solomon suggests dividing the child into two halves, knowing that the true mother would rather give up her claim than see harm come to her child. This iconic biblical story has been depicted by numerous artists throughout history, but Fontebasso's interpretation stands out for its vibrant colors and masterful brushstrokes. Fontebasso was born in Venice in 1707 and spent his career painting religious scenes like this one, often showcasing dramatic lighting effects and richly detailed backgrounds. His works were highly sought after during his lifetime and continue to be admired today. This print captures every nuance of Fontebasso's original artwork with remarkable clarity. It allows art enthusiasts to appreciate the intricacies of his technique while immersing themselves in this timeless tale from biblical lore. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within a private collection, this stunning piece is sure to captivate viewers with its beauty and narrative power.
