David med Goliats hoved 1896 - 1898

"David med Goliats hoved" (David with Goliath's Head), created between 1896 and 1898 by Danish sculptor Carl Aarsleff, is a powerful marble sculpture depicting the biblical story of David's triumph over Goliath. The sculpture, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, portrays David standing over Goliath's head, capturing the moment of victory. Aarsleff's work is notable for its realistic rendering of the figures and its focus on the emotional intensity of the scene. The sculpture's dynamic pose, expressive facial features, and detailed anatomical representation contribute to a sense of drama and immediacy.
