EDITORS COMMENTS
Felix Joseph Barrias's masterpiece, "L'Anointing of David by Samuel" (1842), captures a pivotal moment in the Old Testament as the prophet Samuel anoints the young shepherd boy, David, as the next king of Israel. This stunning oil painting, measuring approximately 48 x 59 cm, showcases the rich colors and intricate details of the 19th century French art scene. The scene is set in a serene outdoor setting, with the sun casting a warm glow over the figures. Samuel, an elderly man with a wise and knowing expression, holds a flask of oil in one hand and reaches out to touch the head of the unsuspecting David, who gazes up at him with a mix of curiosity and reverence. The moment is filled with a sense of divine intervention, as the hand of God guides Samuel in choosing the future king. This painting is a testament to Barrias's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of a biblical story. The use of oil on canvas material adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the figures and the landscape to life. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Petit Palais in Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and Christianity. The "Anointing of David by Samuel" is a powerful and moving image that continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the importance of trusting in the divine plan.
