"David geraakt door de bliksem" is an etching by Dutch artist Michel van Lochom, created between 1625 and 1647. The artwork depicts the biblical figure of David, king of Israel, being struck by lightning. This detailed, small-scale artwork (103mm x 71mm) utilizes dramatic light and shadow to portray the intensity of the moment. This etching, like many of van Lochom's works, highlights the power of faith and the divine in a visually captivating way.
