Afgoderij van Salomo Possibly 1630 - 1702

This print, titled *Idolatry of Solomon*, was created by an anonymous artist, its exact date unknown. The composition teems with figures and architecture, all rendered in meticulous detail. The foreground is dominated by several kneeling figures, seemingly in supplication or worship, set against a backdrop of densely packed crowds and elaborate buildings. This juxtaposition creates a sense of depth and complexity, inviting closer inspection of the structural elements. The artist employs line and form to convey a moral narrative about religious transgression. The linear precision used to depict the architecture and figures, might reflect a broader cultural emphasis on order and representation. This print functions as a moral allegory, using visual language to convey religious and ethical concepts. The structural arrangement of the scene, carefully balanced with an attention to detail, serves to underscore the underlying themes of faith, power, and the potential for moral corruption.
