EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki transports us to the biblical scene of King David playing a harp surrounded by putti and Mary. Created in 1791, this print showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both religious symbolism and musical expression. In this image, we witness King David immersed in his music, strumming the harp with skillful fingers. Above him, a cloud reveals an apparition of Mary peacefully sleeping, holding a Bible and cross. The presence of angels adds an ethereal touch to the composition as they surround David with their heavenly grace. The inscription accompanying this artwork quotes Ephesians 5:18: "Soyes remplis de l'Esprit, vous entretenant par des Pseaumes, des Hymnes et des Cantiques Spirituels" which translates to "Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit". This verse emphasizes the power of music as a means for spiritual connection. Chodowiecki's meticulous copperplate engraving technique brings depth and texture to each element within the composition. The fine lines beautifully render details such as David's expressive face and flowing robes. This enchanting piece not only celebrates King David's musical talent but also invites viewers to reflect on spirituality through art. It serves as a reminder that music has long been cherished as a medium for connecting with divinity across different cultures and religions.
