EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment from biblical history, depicting the intense conflict between Saul and David. On the left side of the image, we witness Saul's uncontrollable jealousy towards David, as he menacingly brandishes his spear in an attempt to slay him. The artist skillfully portrays the raw emotions of envy and anger that consumed Saul during this tumultuous period. In stark contrast, on the right side of the image, we see another significant event unfold. Despite his murderous intentions towards David, Saul unexpectedly appoints him as a captain over a thousand men. This juxtaposition showcases both sides of Saul's complex character - one filled with destructive envy and another capable of recognizing David's military prowess. The artwork itself is an exquisite example of French manuscript illumination dating back to approximately 1250 AD. The delicate handwriting adds an authentic touch to this medieval masterpiece, transporting us back in time to when such artistic craftsmanship was highly valued. As we gaze upon this ancient relic from centuries past, it serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with religious narratives and their visual representation. This photograph print not only offers historical insights into Old Testament events but also invites contemplation on themes like power dynamics, betrayal, and divine intervention that continue to resonate today.
