"The Judgement of Solomon" is a distinguished painting by the Italian artist Gaetano Gandolfi, created in the late 18th century. Gaetano Gandolfi (1734–1802) was a prominent figure in the Bolognese school of painting, known for his dynamic compositions and masterful use of color and light. This particular work exemplifies his skill in capturing dramatic narrative scenes with emotional intensity and intricate detail.

The painting depicts the biblical story of King Solomon's wise judgement, as recounted in the Old Testament. According to the narrative, two women came to Solomon, each claiming to be the mother of a baby. Solomon proposed to cut the baby in half, giving each woman one half. The true mother immediately offered to give up her claim to save the child's life, revealing her genuine maternal love. Solomon then awarded her the baby, demonstrating his profound wisdom.

Gandolfi's rendition of this story is notable for its vivid portrayal of the characters' emotions and the tension of the moment. The composition is carefully balanced, with Solomon seated in a position of authority, the two women depicted with contrasting expressions of desperation and relief, and the baby at the center of the scene, symbolizing innocence and the stakes of the judgement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting the figures against a darker background and drawing the viewer's attention to their faces and gestures.

"The Judgement of Solomon" reflects Gandolfi's deep engagement with classical themes and his ability to convey complex human emotions through his art. The painting remains an important example of 18th-century Italian painting, showcasing Gandolfi's contribution to the artistic heritage of the period.
