EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the "Saul commits suicide History of David and Saul" series takes us back to a significant moment in biblical history. In this scene, we witness the tragic fate of King Saul and his loyal armor bearer as they flee from the Philistine army. The image portrays a haunting contrast between the background and foreground. While Saul and his companion desperately try to escape their pursuers, their faces filled with fear, it is in the foreground where their ultimate demise unfolds. Both men have chosen to end their lives by impaling themselves on their own swords. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing the skillful artistry of Hans Collaert (I) or an artist attributed to him. The Latin reference below the performance alludes to 1 Samuel 31 in the Bible, further emphasizing the historical significance of this event. Part of a larger album, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one chapter of David's tumultuous journey as he rises to power after Saul's death. It serves as a powerful reminder that even great leaders can succumb to despair and tragedy. As we reflect upon this solemn image, let us remember that history has its share of triumphs and sorrows. Through art like this engraving, we are able to connect with past events and gain insights into human nature across time.
