EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures the intense moment when King Saul casts his javelin at David, as described in 1 Samuel 19:10-12. The tension and drama of this biblical scene are palpable, with Saul's arm outstretched and the javelin mid-flight towards David. The artist, Louis John Rhead, skillfully conveys the raw emotion and conflict between these two figures.
The image is part of a collection called "The Psalms of David," published in 1900 by Fleming H Revell Company. It serves as a visual representation of an Old Testament story that has captivated readers for centuries. The black-and-white composition adds to the sense of urgency and danger in the scene.
Saul, portrayed here as a powerful and menacing figure, stands in stark contrast to David, who appears vulnerable yet determined. This depiction highlights the complex dynamics between power and vulnerability, pride and humility.
Through this print, viewers are invited to reflect on themes such as jealousy, betrayal, and forgiveness that resonate across time and cultures. It is a reminder of the enduring relevance of biblical stories in exploring human nature and relationships.
Overall, this lithograph is not just a historical artifact but also a timeless work of art that continues to provoke thought and contemplation.
