EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century wood engraving from The Granger Collection depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history - the encounter between David and Saul. As the story goes, King Saul, the ruler of Israel, was fast asleep when David stealthily approached him with his sword in hand. In an act of both courage and restraint, David chose not to harm Saul but instead cut off a piece of his royal robe. The image showcases the intensity of this clandestine meeting within a dimly lit cave. With his helmet on and sword at his side, David stands tall as he carefully slices through the fabric of Saul's robe. The ancient setting is beautifully portrayed through intricate details such as the rugged cave walls and traditional attire worn by both men. This print captures a significant moment that highlights David's loyalty to God's chosen king despite being pursued relentlessly by Saul. It symbolizes both mercy and respect for authority even in challenging circumstances. As viewers delve into this artwork, they are transported back in time to witness this dramatic event unfold before their eyes. This wood engraving serves as a powerful reminder of faithfulness amidst adversity while showcasing the artistic skill prevalent during America's 19th century period.
