"Judgement of Solomon" is a historical painting by the Flemish artist Antoon Claeissens (also known as Anthonie Claeissins), created in the late 16th or early 17th century. Claeissens, born in Bruges circa 1536 and died in 1613, was a painter of the Bruges school and is known for his works that often depicted religious and mythological scenes. This particular painting illustrates the biblical story of the Judgment of Solomon, which is recounted in the First Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible.

The narrative depicted in the painting is a testament to Solomon's wisdom. Two women came before King Solomon, each claiming to be the mother of the same child. To resolve the dispute, Solomon proposed to cut the baby in half and give each woman a portion. His true intention was to reveal the real mother, who he expected would rather give up her claim than see her child killed. As anticipated, the real mother begged the king to give the living child to the other woman, thereby revealing herself to be the true parent. Solomon then declared her the rightful mother and awarded her custody of the child.

Claeissens' rendition of this scene captures the dramatic moment of Solomon's judgment, with the figures expressing a range of emotions that reflect the gravity of the situation. The painting is notable for its intricate detailing, use of color, and the manner in which it conveys the story's moral and judicial wisdom.

The "Judgement of Solomon" by Antoon Claeissens is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and is reflective of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by its attention to detail and emphasis on narrative clarity. The painting not only serves as an example of Claeissens' artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural and religious values of the period in which it was created. As an artwork, it continues to be studied for its historical significance and its contribution to the visual interpretation of biblical stories.
