EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David sacrifices on Mount Moriah" transports us back to biblical times and offers a glimpse into the life of David, the renowned poet, warrior, and shepherd who later became king. The artist behind this masterpiece is Louis John Rhead (1857-1926), whose attention to detail and skillful technique are evident in every stroke. The scene depicts a pivotal moment when David obediently carries out a sacrifice on Mount Moriah as commanded by the Lord. An angel hovers above him, symbolizing divine intervention and guidance. This act of devotion is significant as it marks the end of a devastating pestilence that had plagued his people. Rhead's portrayal beautifully captures the solemnity and reverence surrounding this event. The intricate engravings showcase not only David's physical strength but also his unwavering faith in God's commandments. This print was originally created for "The Psalms of David" published by Fleming H Revell in 1900. It serves as an illustration for one of David's poetic compositions found within this sacred text. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless power and relevance of biblical stories. Through Rhead's artistry, we can almost feel ourselves standing alongside David on Mount Moriah – witnessing his sacrifice while being uplifted by his unwavering belief in something greater than himself.
