EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Nathan and David, B West, 2 Samuel xii" takes us back to biblical times with its intricate details and emotional portrayal. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print captures a powerful scene from the Book of Samuel. The image depicts Nathan, a prophet, confronting King David after he committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged for her husband's death. The intensity of their interaction is palpable as Nathan points an accusatory finger towards David while his face reflects both disappointment and concern. On the other hand, David appears remorseful yet conflicted as he listens to Nathan's admonishment. This engraving was originally commissioned for John Kitto's book "The Pictorial Sunday Book" published in 1853. It serves as a visual representation of one of the most significant moral lessons found within the Bible – that even great leaders are not above reproach when they stray from righteousness. Through masterful artistry and attention to detail, this print transports viewers into an ancient world where moral dilemmas were confronted head-on. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring appeal among art enthusiasts who appreciate thought-provoking imagery rooted in religious narratives. "Nathan and David, B West, 2 Samuel xii" is a testament to how fine art can breathe life into timeless stories while reminding us of our shared humanity across centuries.
