EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 17: David Returning in Triumph with the Head of Goliath" transports us back to the biblical era. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, this etching is part of a series called "The Battles of the Old Testament". In this particular scene, we witness David, an iconic figure from Christianity's Old Testament, returning victorious after slaying the giant warrior Goliath. The image captures a moment of celebration and triumph as David proudly holds up Goliath's severed head while riding on horseback. Tempesta's attention to detail is evident in every element within the composition. The horses gallop energetically alongside their riders, adding movement and intensity to the scene. A procession of dancers and musicians follows behind David, creating a lively atmosphere filled with music and dance. This artwork not only showcases Tempesta's artistic skill but also serves as a testament to religious themes prevalent during that time period. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on ancient tales of heroism and faith. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating its timeless beauty.
