EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the biblical moment of Samuel anointing David, as described in the Old Testament. In this powerful scene, Samuel is seen holding a horn of oil while anointing David in the presence of his brethren. As the oil touches David's head, symbolizing divine favor and blessing, the Spirit of the LORD descends upon him. The artist William Brassey Hole beautifully illustrates this significant event from ancient Israelite history. His attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow bring depth and emotion to this religious narrative. This image serves as a visual reminder of faith, highlighting themes such as obedience to God's calling, unexpected blessings, and divine guidance. It also showcases the importance of recognizing potential in others beyond their outward appearance or social status. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment that shaped both David's destiny and biblical history. It invites us to reflect on our own lives - how we respond when called by God and how we perceive those around us. Whether you approach it from a Christian or Jewish perspective or simply appreciate its artistic value, this print offers a profound connection with ancient literature and spiritual traditions that continue to influence millions today.
