EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David with the Head of Goliath" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an English School artist in the 18th century, this print showcases a pivotal moment from one of the most famous stories in the Holy Bible. The scene depicts David, a young shepherd boy who would later become King of Israel, standing triumphantly over his defeated enemy, Goliath. With his sling still in hand and Goliath's severed head at his feet, David exudes both strength and courage. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring this iconic tale to life. This particular print was featured as an illustration in "A New and Complete History of the Holy Bible" written by John Fleetwood and published around 1770. It serves as a visual representation of this significant event for readers seeking a deeper understanding of biblical narratives. Preserved within a private collection today, this engraving offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on themes such as faith, bravery, and overcoming adversity. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty make it a truly remarkable piece that continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. © Look and Learn has made this image available through Bridgeman Images for educational purposes only; it is not intended for commercial use.
