"The Judgment of Solomon" is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Antoine Coypel, created in 1702. This work of art depicts the biblical story from the First Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament, where two women claim to be the mother of a child and King Solomon is tasked with determining the true parentage. Coypel's interpretation of this narrative is a masterful example of Baroque painting, showcasing his ability to convey complex emotions and dramatic tension through composition, color, and light.

In the painting, Solomon is shown at the moment of his wise and discerning judgment, where he suggests dividing the living child in two, each woman to receive half. This test reveals the true mother's compassion, as she would rather give up her claim than see her child harmed. Coypel captures the intensity of the scene, with the figures' expressions and gestures heightening the emotional stakes. The true mother is depicted with a horrified expression, imploring the king to spare her child, while the other woman appears more resigned, indicating her deceit.

Antoine Coypel (1661–1722) was a prominent figure in French art, serving as the director of the French Academy in Rome and later as the First Painter to King Louis XIV. His works are characterized by their dynamic compositions, refined elegance, and the effective use of chiaroscuro—a technique that plays with light and shadow to achieve a sense of depth and volume.

"The Judgment of Solomon" is not only a testament to Coypel's artistic skill but also reflects the values and concerns of the Baroque period, such as the exploration of human psychology and the use of biblical subjects to convey moral lessons. The painting remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Coypel and a significant example of French Baroque art. It is held in high esteem by art historians and is often studied for its narrative clarity and technical prowess.
