This 16th-century woodcut by an anonymous artist depicts the Philistines placing the weapons and head of King Saul in the temple of Ashtoret. The scene is taken from the Book of Samuel and highlights the tragic consequences of Saul's disobedience to God. This small, detailed print, now in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the popularity of biblical subjects in Renaissance art and underscores the importance of visual storytelling in this era.
