David en Goliath 1618 - 1655

"David en Goliath" is a dynamic etching by Cornelis Schut, created between 1618 and 1655. The artwork captures the dramatic moment of David's victory over Goliath, with the fallen giant's body sprawled on the ground. David, kneeling and wielding a sword, is shown striking the final blow. The etching's composition is characterized by intense movement and a sense of urgency, reflecting the dramatic nature of the biblical tale. "David en Goliath" is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum and is a prime example of Schut's mastery of the etching technique.
