EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 15th-century vellum print titled "God appears to King Solomon" we are transported back in time to witness a profound moment of divine revelation. The French School artist skillfully depicts the biblical story of God's apparition before the wise and revered King Solomon. The scene unfolds within the opulent chambers of Solomon's palace, where he is shown reclining on an ornate bed adorned with regal draperies. Bathed in soft light, his naked form symbolizes vulnerability and humility as he receives a celestial visitation. Hovering above him, a majestic figure representing God manifests itself, radiating power and wisdom. Holding an orb that signifies sovereignty over all creation, this ethereal presence imparts divine knowledge upon the king. Their interaction seems intimate yet awe-inspiring, as if bridging the gap between mortal existence and heavenly realms. Surrounding them is an array of exquisite furniture and furnishings that further emphasize Solomon's grandeur and wealth. The intricately designed crown atop his head serves as a reminder of his royal lineage while also signifying his authority under God's guidance. This remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images captures not only the artistic prowess of its creator but also invites us to contemplate themes such as faith, leadership, and our connection with higher powers. It reminds us that even great rulers like King Solomon sought guidance from something greater than themselves – a timeless message that resonates across centuries. "
