"The Judgment of Solomon" is a renowned oil painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, created in the 18th century. This work of art illustrates the biblical story from the First Book of Kings in the Old Testament, where King Solomon demonstrates his wisdom by resolving a dispute between two women who both claim to be the mother of a child. Tiepolo, known for his grandiose and vibrant frescoes and canvases, brings this dramatic narrative to life with his characteristic use of light, color, and dynamic composition.

In the painting, Solomon is depicted at the moment of his wise judgment, commanding a soldier to divide the living child in two, each woman to receive half, as a test to reveal the true mother's identity. The true mother, driven by her natural affection, begs the king to spare the child and give him to the other woman, thereby proving her maternity. Tiepolo captures the emotional intensity of the scene, with the figures expressing a range of emotions from desperation to cunning.

The artwork is a testament to Tiepolo's mastery of the Rococo style, which is evident in the fluidity of the figures, the dramatic use of light and shadow, and the rich, decorative elements that enhance the theatricality of the scene. "The Judgment of Solomon" not only exemplifies Tiepolo's skill as a storyteller through his art but also serves as a reflection of the values and interests of the Enlightenment period, during which reason and wisdom were highly esteemed.

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770) was one of the most prominent Venetian painters and printmakers of the 18th century, and his works are celebrated for their elegance and exuberance. "The Judgment of Solomon" remains one of his notable contributions to religious art and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The painting is an important part of Tiepolo's oeuvre and holds a place in the collection of notable European art from the Baroque period.
