"Nathan Admonishes King David" is a significant biblical painting by the Dutch artist Aert de Gelder, who was among the last pupils of Rembrandt van Rijn. Created in 1700, this artwork is an exemplar of de Gelder's mature style, which is characterized by a vivid use of color and dramatic lighting effects reminiscent of his mentor's work. The painting depicts the pivotal Old Testament scene where the prophet Nathan confronts King David about his adultery with Bathsheba and the arranged death of her husband Uriah, as narrated in the Second Book of Samuel, chapter 12.

In this scene, de Gelder captures the moment of moral reckoning, with Nathan pointing his finger at a remorseful David, symbolizing the accusation and the king's subsequent guilt. The artist's mastery of chiaroscuro and expressive brushwork conveys the emotional intensity of the encounter, highlighting the themes of sin, repentance, and divine justice. The painting's composition, use of light, and the psychological depth of the figures reflect de Gelder's unique interpretation of Rembrandt's influence and his own artistic innovation.

"Nathan Admonishes King David" is considered an important work in de Gelder's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting and his role in the transition to the Rococo style that would soon emerge. The painting is not only a testament to de Gelder's skill as a storyteller through visual means but also serves as a rich source for understanding the religious and cultural context of the period. It remains a valuable piece for both art historians and admirers of biblical art, offering insight into the enduring power of scriptural narratives in the visual arts.
