"The Judgement of Solomon" is a notable painting by the British artist William Brassey Hole, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Hole, born in 1846 and passing in 1917, was a multifaceted artist known for his work as a painter, illustrator, and etcher. His oeuvre often depicted historical, biblical, and literary themes, reflecting the Victorian fascination with narrative art.

This particular painting illustrates the famous biblical story from the Old Testament, specifically from the First Book of Kings (3:16-28). The narrative centers on King Solomon, who is confronted with a difficult case involving two women who claim to be the mother of the same child. Solomon's wisdom is tested as he devises a clever and dramatic solution to reveal the true mother, ultimately showcasing his legendary judiciousness.

Hole's rendition of this story captures the intense emotional and moral gravity of the moment. The composition is meticulously crafted to highlight the tension and drama inherent in the scene. Solomon is typically depicted at the center, exuding calm authority, while the two women are portrayed with expressions of desperation and anxiety. The use of light and shadow, as well as the detailed rendering of the figures' garments and surroundings, exemplifies Hole's skill in creating a vivid and engaging narrative tableau.

"The Judgement of Solomon" by William Brassey Hole not only serves as a testament to the artist's technical prowess but also reflects the broader Victorian interest in biblical stories as vehicles for moral and ethical reflection. The painting remains a significant example of Hole's contribution to religious and historical art, embodying the era's artistic and cultural values.
