"The Judgement of Solomon" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, created around 1650-1651. This artwork is a vivid representation of the biblical story from the Old Testament, specifically from the First Book of Kings (3:16-28), which recounts the wisdom of King Solomon. In the narrative, two women come before King Solomon, both claiming to be the mother of a baby. Solomon's proposal to divide the living child in two, giving half to each woman, reveals the true mother, who would rather give up her claim than see her child harmed.

Jan Steen, known for his genre paintings that often depict lively, humorous scenes of Dutch daily life, approaches this serious subject with his characteristic attention to detail and human expression. The painting captures the dramatic moment of Solomon's judgement, with the figures arranged in a dynamic composition that draws the viewer's eye towards the central action. Solomon is depicted seated on his throne, exuding authority and wisdom, while the two women display contrasting emotions of desperation and relief.

Steen's use of light and shadow enhances the emotional intensity of the scene, highlighting the figures' faces and gestures. The artist's skillful rendering of textiles, architecture, and other elements of the setting adds to the painting's overall realism and depth. This work is a testament to Steen's versatility as an artist, capable of handling both light-hearted and serious subjects with equal proficiency.

"The Judgement of Solomon" by Jan Steen is housed in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, Germany. It remains an important example of Steen's oeuvre and a significant work within the broader context of 17th-century Dutch painting. The painting not only showcases Steen's technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex narratives and human emotions through his art.
