This painting by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni depicts the biblical story of David, the young shepherd who defeats the giant Goliath. The image shows David, draped in a fur cloak, holding the severed head of Goliath while standing atop a stone base. Reni uses rich color and dramatic lighting to emphasize the powerful and emotional intensity of the scene, capturing the moment of triumph and the somber aftermath of violence. This work is a hallmark of the Baroque era, known for its theatricality and emphasis on religious narratives.
