The Judgement of Solomon is an oil on panel painting by Flemish painter Frans Floris. Painted right after Floris' return from his trip to Italy, the painting depicts a biblical scene, the Judgment of Solomon. In that story, King Solomon of Israel ruled between two women who both claimed to be the mother of a child. Solomon revealed their true feelings and relationship to the child by suggesting that the baby be cut in two, with each woman to receive half. With this strategy, Solomon was able to determine the non-mother as the woman who backed this proposal (saying, It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it),[2] while the actual mother begged that the sword be sheathed and the child committed to the care of her rival (O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!)[3]
