EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a chilling scene from biblical times, depicting the vengeful act of Saul against the priests of Nobs. In the foreground, we witness the horrifying sight of priests and their relatives being mercilessly slaughtered at Saul's command. The brutality is evident as lifeless bodies lay strewn across the ground. In stark contrast, in the background on the right side of the image, we see a group of bodyguards who have chosen to defy Saul's orders. Their refusal to carry out this heinous act showcases their moral integrity and unwillingness to participate in such violence. The print itself bears captions in multiple languages - Hebrew, Latin, French, English, German, and Dutch - emphasizing its significance across various cultures and regions. It serves as a testament to how this event has resonated throughout history. Created by Gilliam van der Gouwen in 1728 using paper and etching techniques, this artwork measures 224 mm wide by 350 mm high. Its inclusion within Liszt Collection highlights its historical value and artistic merit. This powerful image serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for both cruelty and compassion while shedding light on an ancient tale that continues to captivate audiences today.
