"David Triumphant," a marble sculpture by American artist Thomas Crawford (1813-1857), depicts the biblical hero David after his victory over Goliath. David stands confidently, his foot crushing the head of the defeated giant, while he leans casually on a harp. The work, created between 1845 and 1848, exemplifies Crawford's skill in Neoclassical style, characterized by idealized forms and a focus on classical themes. The sculpture's dynamic composition and the juxtaposition of David's youthful confidence and the defeated Goliath create a powerful image of triumph over adversity.
