"The Penance of David" is a miniature painting created by the Limbourg brothers, renowned Flemish artists of the early 15th century. The artwork depicts King David kneeling in prayer, acknowledging his sin and seeking forgiveness. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city, a river, and a lush landscape, highlighting the intricate detail and realism typical of the brothers' style. This miniature, likely from a larger illuminated manuscript, demonstrates the Limbourg brothers' mastery of miniature painting and their ability to capture the drama and emotion of biblical narratives.
