EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts "King David with a Harp" from a Book of Hours made for Francois I, dating back to the mid-16th century. The illuminated manuscript on vellum showcases the artistic prowess of the French School during this period. Measuring 20x13.5 cm, this piece is part of a private collection that holds historical and religious significance. The image portrays King David, an iconic biblical figure known for his musical talents and poetic Psalms, playing his harp in an outdoor setting. Surrounding him are two animals and a small group of people, including a bystander who observes the scene attentively. The composition exudes tranquility as King David kneels in prayer while strumming his stringed instrument. The intricate details and vibrant colors found within this 16th-century painting bring life to its subjects and transport viewers to another time. The Latin text accompanying the illustration adds depth to its meaning, further enhancing its spiritual essence. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the majesty and power associated with monarchy during olden times. It serves as a testament to both Christian beliefs and Judaic traditions intertwined within European history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous piece from Fine Art Finder's collection without compromising its integrity or commercial use restrictions.
