EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from biblical history - "David with the Head of Goliath". Created by Robert van Audenaerde in the 17th century, this image is an etching after Carlo Maratti's original work. The baroque era influence is evident in the intricate details and dramatic composition. In this scene, David, a young man carrying on his shoulders the decapitated head of Goliath, walks solemnly through a war-torn landscape. The beheading of Goliath symbolizes triumph over adversity and showcases David's unwavering faith and bravery as he fulfills God's will. The artist skillfully depicts David's contemplative expression as he holds a sword in one hand and a book believed to be the Book of Samuel in the other. This portrayal highlights both his physical strength and spiritual devotion. Set against a white background, which enhances its visual impact, this portrait evokes strong emotions while reminding viewers of the timeless themes present in religious texts. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great conflict, individuals can find solace through their beliefs. Now housed at The Met museum, this Flemish engraving preserves an important piece of heritage art that continues to captivate audiences with its profound message about courage, faith, and victory over adversity.
