Solomonic column. Barley-sugar, Salomonic, Salomónica,
spiral, torso or twisted column, with a contorted or twisted
shaft, unlike the
Antonine,
triumphal, or
Trajanic column with its spiral
band of sculpture wound around it. The form was based on the
Antique precedents from the Herodian Temple in Jerusalem in the first century AD, thought to be from the Temple of Solomon. These and others were set up over the tomb of the Apostle in the Constantinian
basilica of San Pietro, Rome, and so copies or columns inspired by them became familiar throughout Europe, being often used on altarpieces,
shrines, and the like, because they were associated with the gates of Paradise. The earliest English examples are the columns (half-way between the Solomonic and Trajanic type) supporting the
vaults in the
crypt of St Wystan's Church, Repton, Derbys. (C9), but the spiral column was often used in
Romanesque cloisters, and in
Baroque funerary monuments. The form became widely known in C17 through engravings of the tapestry cartoons by
Raphael showing Christ at the Temple which were brought to England in the reign of King Charles I (1625–49).
