EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic biblical tale of David and Goliath, brought to life by the masterful hand of Giorgio Giulio Clovio. Created on vellum between 1557-61, this exquisite artwork measures 29x21.2 cm and is currently housed in the esteemed Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. Commissioned by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and gifted to Margaret of Parma, this remarkable piece was once part of Philip II of Spain's illustrious collection until 1808. The image depicts the climactic moment when David, armed with only a sling and his unwavering faith, triumphantly defeats the towering giant Goliath. The intricate details captured in this medieval manuscript transport us back in time as we witness the clash between these two formidable forces. With sword raised high and shield at hand, David fearlessly confronts his adversary while soldiers from both armies watch intently. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork symbolizes themes that resonate throughout generations - courage against all odds, victory over adversity, and unwavering faith in one's abilities. It serves as a powerful reminder that even giants can be toppled when faced with determination and belief. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the timeless power found within religious narratives like David and Goliath – stories that continue to inspire individuals across cultures and religions worldwide.
