David and Goliath 1875

Odilon Redon's charcoal drawing "David and Goliath" (1875) depicts a poignant scene from the biblical story. A young David stands in front of the severed head of the giant Goliath, a powerful reminder of his victory. Redon's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of unease and mystery. The contrast between David's small stature and Goliath's massive head emphasizes the David's courage and strength, capturing a dramatic and symbolic moment in art history.
