Profeet David 1606 - 1609

This etching, "Prophet David," created between 1606 and 1609 by Raffaello Schiaminossi, depicts King David, a figure of great importance in both Jewish and Christian faiths, in a pose of reverence and contemplation. David, dressed in flowing robes and holding a tablet, gazes upward, perhaps towards God or a divine inspiration. This artwork is characteristic of Schiaminossi's style, which combined elements of Renaissance and Baroque aesthetics, and demonstrates the artist's mastery of printmaking techniques. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, where art enthusiasts can appreciate its delicate details and historical significance.
