Wisdom, judgment, kingdom and fall · King Solomon
Poussin, Rubens, Poynter and Bourdon represent Solomon between exemplary judgment, meeting with the Queen of Sheba, accession to the throne and sacrifice to idols.
Solomon, son of David and Bathsheba, reigns over Israel in the biblical story and becomes the archetype of the wise king. The most famous episode is the judgment of the two women who claim the same child: Solomon orders it to be shared so that the true mother reveals her love by renouncing it. Poussin organizes this drama as a clear demonstration of gestures and passions; Rubens gives him energy, diagonals and suspended violence. The visit of the Queen of Sheba offers an opposing register, made of procession, architecture, gifts and magnificence. Poynter deploys this subject in a vast history painting with archaeological and decorative details. Solomon's dream recalls the request for wisdom, while Bathsheba guiding her son to the throne evokes David's succession. Finally, the sacrifice to idols represents the fault of the aging king and introduces a meditation on the fragility of power. Crown, throne, scepter, Temple and book of wisdom allow us to recognize Solomon according to the scenes. The "Solomon" selection notably compares The Judgment of Solomon - Nicolas Poussin and The Judgment of Solomon - Peter Paul Rubens. Its reading favors atmosphere.
Solomon is painted as an entire trajectory of power: wisdom of judgment, splendor of the kingdom, diplomatic encounter and final fragility.
