"Solomon 1308-11" is a notable work by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, created between 1308 and 1311. This artwork forms part of a larger ensemble of paintings known as the Maestà, which is Duccio's most famous work and a seminal piece of Italian medieval art. The Maestà, originally an altarpiece for the Siena Cathedral, is a double-sided panel painting that showcases the Virgin Mary on the front and a series of scenes from the life of Christ on the back, along with images of saints and Old Testament figures, including the depiction of Solomon.

The "Solomon 1308-11" is one of the individual narrative scenes that make up the complex iconography of the Maestà's back panels. It is a representation of the biblical King Solomon, known for his wisdom and as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem. Duccio's portrayal of Solomon would have been part of the visual narrative that connected Old Testament wisdom and prophecy with the New Testament stories of Jesus Christ, thus serving a didactic as well as a devotional function.

Duccio di Buoninsegna, active in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, was a pioneering figure in the development of Italian painting, moving away from the Byzantine style towards greater naturalism and emotional expression. His work on the Maestà, including the "Solomon 1308-11," is considered a masterpiece of Sienese Gothic art and reflects the transition in European art from medieval to Renaissance styles.

The "Solomon 1308-11" is executed in tempera and gold leaf on wood, a common medium of the time, which allowed for brilliant color and intricate detailing. While the Maestà as a whole has been disassembled, with its components now dispersed across several museums, the individual panels, including the one depicting Solomon, are still studied for their artistic and historical significance. They offer insight into the religious and cultural context of Siena during the late Middle Ages, as well as into the evolution of Duccio's artistic techniques and narrative storytelling through painting.
