Verified profile

The Bolognese painter Marcantonio Franceschini was the bearer of a classical and balanced language that was much appreciated in Genoa. In this canvas, the biblical scene is represented as if it were taking place on a theater stage. Solomon, the elderly king of Israel, is dragged in front of a pagan statue. His numerous wives, young and beautiful, take advantage of his weakness and lead him to worship new divinities.
