This Tree of Jesse (1468) at Evreux Cathedral with its central figure of the Virgin Mary and Child, also depicts King David in the lower left, and King Solomon in the lower right. Other prophets and kings are shown on to the left and right of the central figures.
Renaissance stained glass (1550) depicting King Solomon in the clerestory windows of Saint Ouen, Rouen, France.
This stained glass window, designed by Henry Holiday and made by James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars Glass) in 1891, depicts two towering figures of the Old Testament—Joshua and Solomon—and stands as a complete meditation on divine strength and wisdom. Executed with the characteristic refinement of the late Victorian period, the window combines narrative clarity with symbolic depth, translating Scripture into radiant colour and form.
