"The Judgement of Solomon" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Alessandro Turchi, also known as Orbetto. Created in the early 17th century, this work exemplifies Turchi's mastery in combining dramatic narrative with meticulous attention to detail, a hallmark of the Baroque period. The painting depicts the biblical story of King Solomon's wise judgement, as recounted in the First Book of Kings (3:16-28). In the narrative, two women come before King Solomon, each claiming to be the mother of a baby. Solomon's proposal to divide the living child in two, giving half to each woman, reveals the true mother, who would rather give up her child than see it harmed.

Turchi's rendition of this scene captures the emotional intensity and moral gravity of the moment. The composition is carefully balanced, with King Solomon centrally positioned, exuding authority and wisdom. The figures of the two women are rendered with expressive detail, their contrasting reactions vividly portrayed to underscore the dramatic tension. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique involving the interplay of light and shadow, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and the depth of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action.

Alessandro Turchi, born in Verona in 1578, was a prominent figure in the Baroque movement, known for his religious and mythological subjects. He trained under Felice Riccio and later moved to Rome, where he became associated with the circle of Caravaggio, whose influence is evident in Turchi's use of dramatic lighting and realistic detail. "The Judgement of Solomon" is a testament to Turchi's skill in narrative painting, blending classical composition with the emotional intensity characteristic of Baroque art. This work remains an important example of Turchi's contribution to the artistic developments of his time.
