Border with the Queen of Sheba before King Solomon, about 1525-1530. Creator: Simon Bening
Border with the Queen of Sheba before King Solomon; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530.
Additional Info: Intrigued by reports of King Solomon's legendary wisdom, the Queen of Sheba visits him in Jerusalem, kneeling down with two of her attendants to present him with sumptuous gold and spices. Simon Bening constructed the scene as if it were taking place behind a text-panel that discusses the story of the Adoration of the Magi. This image of the Queen and her handmaidens approaching the wise king with gifts echoes that of the three kings visiting the baby Jesus seen on the facing page. Bening used this artistic strategy to help the viewer make the connection between the Old Testament and New Testament stories of visiting royalty
