EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Louis John Rhead depicts the iconic biblical moment when David, armed with nothing but a sling, triumphantly slays the mighty Goliath. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as David takes aim at his formidable opponent. With unwavering determination, he reaches into his shepherd's bag to retrieve a single stone that will change the course of history. As David releases the stone from his sling, it hurtles through the air towards its target. In an instant, it strikes Goliath square in the forehead with incredible force. The impact is so powerful that the stone sinks deeply into Goliath's skull, causing him to collapse onto his face upon the earth. This dramatic illustration beautifully captures both David's bravery and God's divine intervention in this legendary battle between good and evil. It serves as a visual representation of one of King David's most celebrated feats - an act of courage that would forever solidify his place as a warrior-poet and future king. Louis John Rhead masterfully brings this ancient tale to life through intricate details and skillful craftsmanship. This print not only showcases Rhead's artistic prowess but also invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, heroism, and overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles – timeless messages found within "The Psalms of David.
