"Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Pietro Dandini (1646–1712). The artwork is a visual representation of the biblical encounter between the wise King Solomon of Israel and the enigmatic Queen of Sheba, as recounted in the Books of Kings and Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible, and in the Quran. Dandini, who was active during the 17th century in Florence, is known for his dynamic compositions and use of color, which are exemplified in this painting.

The painting depicts the moment of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon's court, a scene that has been a popular subject for artists throughout history due to its themes of wealth, wisdom, and international diplomacy. In the narrative, the Queen of Sheba brings a retinue of attendants and a caravan of gifts to test Solomon's famed wisdom with riddles and hard questions. The encounter is often interpreted as a symbol of cultural exchange and mutual respect between different nations and peoples.

Dandini's interpretation of the scene is characterized by his Baroque sensibilities, with a focus on dramatic lighting, rich colors, and a sense of movement. The figures are typically arranged in a dynamic composition, with the opulence of Solomon's court and the exotic presence of the Queen and her entourage being central themes. The painting is a testament to Dandini's skill in portraying complex historical and religious subjects, and it contributes to the understanding of Baroque art in Italy.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the latter part of Dandini's career. "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and historical implications, reflecting the period's interest in the wisdom literature of the Bible and the broader fascination with the Orient.

The painting is held in various art collections, and its provenance includes ownership by notable patrons of the arts. As with many works of its time, it has been studied for its iconography, composition, and Dandini's distinctive style, which blends the grandeur of the High Baroque with a uniquely Florentine sensibility. The work continues to be an important piece for scholars interested in the Baroque period and for those studying the artistic interpretations of biblical narratives.
