"The Construction of Solomon's Temple" is an etching by Dutch poet, illustrator, and engraver Jan Luyken (1649–1712). This work is part of a larger collection of illustrations created by Luyken, which often depicted religious, historical, and moral subjects. The etching portrays the biblical account of the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem by King Solomon, as described in the Old Testament books of Kings and Chronicles. The temple's construction, which took place in the 10th century BCE, was a significant event in Jewish history, symbolizing a permanent dwelling place for the God of Israel and a center for worship and religious practice.

Jan Luyken was known for his detailed and didactic approach to art, and "The Construction of Solomon's Temple" exemplifies his skill in combining fine detail with educational content. The etching likely served not only as a piece of art but also as a visual teaching tool, illustrating the grandeur and spiritual importance of the temple. Luyken's work reflects the Baroque era's interest in dramatic subjects and intricate detail, as well as the Dutch Golden Age's emphasis on printmaking and book illustration.

The piece is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural and human figures, capturing the scale and complexity of the temple's construction. Luyken's representation may have been influenced by contemporary understandings of biblical architecture and the artist's own imagination, as no definitive visual records of the temple existed. The artwork would have been part of the rich tradition of biblical illustration in European art, contributing to the visual culture of the period and the dissemination of biblical narratives.

As with many of Luyken's works, "The Construction of Solomon's Temple" would have been accessible to a wide audience through prints, which were a popular and affordable medium for disseminating art and ideas at the time. Today, the etching is of interest not only for its artistic value but also for its historical significance as an example of 17th-century Dutch printmaking and its role in the visual interpretation of biblical stories.
