EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David anointed by Samuel at Bethlehem" transports us back to a significant biblical moment. Created by the talented artist Louis John Rhead, this print captures the essence of David's anointment as king. In this scene, we witness Samuel pouring oil onto David's head while his brethren look on in awe. The symbolism behind this act is profound - it signifies the divine selection and consecration of David as the future ruler of Israel. As described in the Psalms of David, Samuel's action solidifies David's destiny as both a poet and a warrior. The setting takes place in Bethlehem, adding another layer of significance to this artwork. It was within these humble surroundings that young David served as a shepherd before ascending to greatness. This image beautifully encapsulates his journey from tending sheep to becoming one of history's most renowned kings. Rhead masterfully brings this biblical tale to life through intricate details and careful composition. His skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, emphasizing its spiritual importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are reminded not only of King David but also of our own potential for greatness when guided by faith and purpose. It serves as a timeless reminder that even ordinary individuals can be anointed with extraordinary destinies.
