"The Judgment of Solomon" is a fresco by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. Created as part of Raphael's commission to decorate the rooms now known as the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Palace, this particular fresco is located in the Room of the Segnatura, which was the first room to be decorated. Raphael was entrusted with this project by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century, with work on the Room of the Segnatura taking place roughly between 1508 and 1511.

The fresco illustrates the biblical episode from the First Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament, where two women claim to be the mother of the same child. King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom, proposes to cut the baby in two, each woman to receive half. His shrewd judgment is revealed when the real mother begs the king to give the living child to the other woman, thereby displaying her true maternal compassion. Solomon then declares her the true mother and awards her the child.

Raphael's depiction of The Judgment of Solomon is celebrated for its clarity of composition, use of space, and the harmonious interaction of the figures, which all serve to enhance the narrative of the scene. The fresco is also noted for its representation of the Renaissance ideals of justice and the power of reason, reflecting the intellectual and cultural climate of the time. Raphael's work in the Vatican is considered a pinnacle of Renaissance art, and The Judgment of Solomon is a prime example of his mastery in conveying complex themes through his artistry.

As a fresco of significant historical and artistic value, The Judgment of Solomon has been the subject of extensive art historical research and is often included in discussions of Raphael's work and the broader context of Renaissance art. The fresco continues to attract the admiration of scholars and visitors alike, remaining an enduring testament to Raphael's genius and the enduring appeal of Renaissance art.
