Koning David in een tempel 1743

This etching, "Koning David in een tempel," by Dutch artist Jan Punt depicts King David enthroned in a temple, surrounded by angels. The scene, likely inspired by the Bible, showcases David in a moment of divine favor, with a halo of light emanating from above. Punt, known for his detailed illustrations, uses rich linework and shading to convey the majesty of the scene, highlighting the contrast between the King's regal attire and the reverence of the surrounding figures. This work, a testament to Punt's skill and attention to detail, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of 18th-century Netherlands.
