EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the Flemish artist Nicolaes de Bruyn. This artwork, which dates back to the 16th century, depicts the biblical figure King David in a circular composition. The plate is part of a series known as The Nine Worthies, which features portraits of nine legendary men from both the Old and New Testaments and ancient history. In this engraving, King David is shown in a thoughtful pose, gazing directly at the viewer with a serious expression. He is dressed in royal attire, wearing a crown adorned with precious stones and a long, flowing robe. The king holds a harp in his left hand, the musical instrument that is said to have soothed his soul and inspired him to write many of the Psalms. The harp's intricate strings and decorative details are beautifully rendered in black on cream laid paper. The circular shape of the engraving adds to its decorative and ornamental qualities, making it a striking and eye-catching piece. The detailed inset around the image further enhances the artwork's aesthetic appeal, adding an elegant frame to the portrait of King David. The monarch's strong, masculine features and direct gaze make for a compelling and engaging portrait, transporting us back to the 10th century BC and the reign of this legendary king. This engraving is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to captivate and inspire. It is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, adding depth and character to any space. Whether admired for its historical significance, its artistic merit, or its decorative qualities, "King David, Plate Five from The Nine Worthies, 1594" is a truly remarkable work of art.
