The Dream of Solomon by Luca Giordano

This is a reproduction of “The Dream of Solomon” by Luca Giordano of about 1693.  The painting is a depiction of the passage from the Bible, II Kings 3:5-15, in which God appeared to the young king.  In the dream God asks Solomon what gift he wanted and Solomon responded that he wanted understanding so that he could properly judge the people.  The Neapolitan Giordano produced this painting in Spain when he was about fifty-nine years old.  He had just entered the service of the Spanish king.  He became wealthy in that service and returned to Naples in 1702 where he died three years later.  The original painting is 361 cm wide and 245 cm high and is in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

This is one of Rembrandt’s best works painted before he moved from Leiden to Amsterdam. This is a wonderful study of the human condition and masterfully portrays deep disappointment and sadness that often creeps to our lives
