EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David the Shepherd" takes us back to biblical times with its intricate details and powerful symbolism. Created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, this print showcases David, a central figure in the Old Testament. The image portrays David as a young shepherd boy, his gaze focused intently on something beyond our view. With one hand resting gently on his harp and the other holding a slingshot, he exudes both innocence and determination. This depiction captures a pivotal moment before David's legendary battle against Goliath, where he would prove that even the smallest can conquer giants. The meticulous craftsmanship of A Rowan's drawing combined with G Pearson's skillful engraving brings this scene to life. The digital cleaning process has restored its original clarity while preserving its historical charm. "David the Shepherd" is part of a series called "Old Testament Portraits" illustrated for Cunningham Geikie's book published in 1878. It serves as a visual representation of David's journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of Israel's greatest kings and psalmists. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it reminds us not only of ancient tales but also of timeless lessons found within the pages of religious texts. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, courage, and triumph over adversity – messages that resonate across generations regardless of religious beliefs or affiliations.
