EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David's Lamentation" transports us to a biblical scene from the book of II Samuel. The image depicts a poignant moment described in Chapter XVIII, Verse 33, where David mourns the death of his beloved son Absalom. The artist, belonging to the English School in the 19th century, skillfully captures the raw emotion and grief that consumes David as he gazes upon his lifeless child. The intricate details of this engraving bring forth a sense of sorrow and despair that resonates with viewers. Originally created as an illustration for A New Family Bible published by C Brightly and T Kinnersley in 1805, this artwork showcases its timeless appeal through its enduring presence. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human experience—of loss, pain, and heartbreak. The composition evokes echoes of passion plays and religious imagery associated with Christ's lamentations. Through this connection to biblical themes, it invites contemplation on universal themes such as suffering and redemption.
