About the piece
This late 17th-century oil painting by Florentine artist Pietro Dandini captures the biblical narrative of King Solomon's lapse into idolatry. The composition is quintessentially Baroque, utilizing deep shadows to highlight the theatrical red of Solomon's cloak and the luminous figures of his companions, all rendered with fluid and confident brushwork that creates a sense of movement and grandeur.
