This print showcases the iconic "Statue of David" from the 15th century, a masterpiece of sculpture created by Claus Sluter and Claus De Werve. The image captures a mesmerizing detail of Moses Well, an original work kept in the monastery Charteuse de Champmol in Dijon, France. The photograph was taken at the Cite de l'architecture et du patrimoine in Paris, where casts of this remarkable artwork were realized by Jules Fontaine. It is now displayed at the Architecture Museum of Paris within Trocadero. The statue itself represents David, a biblical figure from the Old Testament and one of Christianity's most revered heroes. This artistic portrayal beautifully depicts his strength and courage as he prepares to face Goliath.
