David met het hoofd van Goliath 1520 - 1562

This small-scale engraving by the 16th-century artist known as Monogrammist AC, depicts the biblical story of David and Goliath. The composition, set within a decorative frame, features a nude David triumphantly holding the severed head of the giant Goliath. The print, created sometime between 1520 and 1562, captures a moment of triumph in this popular biblical tale. The detailed rendering of David's musculature and the dramatic expression of Goliath's head highlight the power and skill of the Monogrammist AC, known for his intricate engravings. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic style and religious themes prevalent in 16th-century Netherlands.
