David als boeteling 1625 - 1647

"David als boeteling" is an etching by the Dutch artist Michel van Lochom, created between 1625 and 1647. The etching depicts the biblical figure of David, the second King of Israel, kneeling in repentance as God, represented by a figure in the sky, reaches down towards him. David's harp lies in the foreground, a symbol of his past glory and his fall from grace. The composition is simple yet evocative, highlighting the profound emotion of David's remorse and the divine mercy offered by God. Van Lochom's work, known for its detailed and expressive lines, captures the essence of this biblical story, bringing it to life for viewers centuries later.
