솔로몬의 우상 숭배 by Lucas Van Leyden, 1514

In this intricate engraving, the famously wise King Solomon is shown kneeling in submission, completely captivated by a towering woman in a feathered headdress—likely one of his many foreign wives who led him astray. To the right, a bizarre satyr-like figure holds up a skull, symbolizing the pagan idols Solomon began to worship, a huge scandal for a biblical king! Lucas van Leyden, a Dutch Renaissance prodigy who created complex scenes like this around 1514, packed the background with soldiers and a bustling city to show the public scale of this moral failure.
