Il Giudizio di Salomone (The Judgement of Solomon) is a renowned marble relief sculpture created by the Italian artist Jacopo della Quercia. This masterpiece, completed around 1425, is a significant example of early Renaissance art and showcases della Quercia's exceptional skill in sculptural narrative and his ability to convey complex human emotions through stone. The relief depicts the biblical story of King Solomon's wise judgement, a tale from the Old Testament that illustrates the king's wisdom and fairness.

In the narrative, two women come before King Solomon, each claiming to be the mother of a baby. Solomon's solution is to propose cutting the baby in half, giving each woman a part. The true mother, driven by her love and compassion, immediately offers to give up her claim to save the child's life, thereby revealing her identity to Solomon. This story has been a popular subject in art due to its dramatic tension and moral resolution, and della Quercia's interpretation is particularly noted for its emotional depth and dynamic composition.

Della Quercia's relief is celebrated for its intricate detailing and the lifelike representation of the figures. The artist's use of perspective and spatial arrangement draws the viewer into the scene, creating a sense of immediacy and involvement. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was innovative for its time, reflecting the early Renaissance interest in humanism and the study of classical antiquity.

The Judgement of Solomon is part of the sculptural decoration of the Fonte Gaia, a monumental fountain located in the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy. The fountain, commissioned by the Sienese government, was intended to celebrate the prosperity and vitality of the city. Della Quercia's work on the Fonte Gaia, including The Judgement of Solomon, is considered one of his most important contributions to Renaissance art and has influenced numerous artists in the subsequent generations.

This relief not only exemplifies Jacopo della Quercia's mastery of marble but also serves as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the early Renaissance period in Italy.
