EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts King David of Israel, depicted with regal dignity and poise, surrounded by his ambassadors as they prepare for a diplomatic mission. The scene is drawn from the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel, chapter 10, where King David sends his envoys to Hanun, the king of the Ammonites, to express his condolences on the death of Hanun's father. However, Hanun interprets the gesture as a sign of hostility and responds with insults and acts of aggression. The image, created around 1690, is a testament to the artistic skill of the period, with intricate details and vivid colors that bring the biblical narrative to life. The horsemen, dressed in armor and adorned with elaborate headpieces, are depicted in dynamic poses, their horses rearing and prancing, ready to set off on their diplomatic journey. The artist masterfully captures the tension and anticipation of the moment, as well as the sense of grandeur and power that surrounds King David and his court. The print also serves as a reminder of the importance of diplomacy and communication in international relations, even in ancient times. Despite the potential for misunderstandings and conflicts, King David's ambassadors carry on with their mission, demonstrating the importance of maintaining peaceful relations with neighboring kingdoms and upholding the dignity of their own sovereignty.
