King David by Benedetto Antelami is a significant example of Romanesque sculpture, reflecting the artistic and cultural milieu of the late 12th and early 13th centuries in Italy. Benedetto Antelami, an Italian sculptor and architect, is renowned for his detailed and expressive works, which often draw upon biblical themes and classical influences. The sculpture of King David is no exception, embodying the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style, characterized by its intricate detailing and heightened naturalism.

The statue of King David is believed to have been created around 1180-1190, during a period when Antelami was actively engaged in various ecclesiastical projects. This work is traditionally associated with the Cathedral of Fidenza, although some scholars suggest it may have originally been intended for another location. King David is depicted in a regal and contemplative pose, holding a harp, which signifies his role as the biblical psalmist and musician. The figure's facial expression and posture convey a sense of introspection and solemnity, capturing the spiritual and temporal authority of the biblical king.

Antelami's craftsmanship is evident in the detailed rendering of King David's garments, the intricate patterns of his robe, and the lifelike depiction of his facial features. The sculpture's stylistic elements, such as the elongated proportions and the fluidity of the drapery, reflect the influence of classical antiquity, while also anticipating the more naturalistic approach of the Gothic period.

King David by Benedetto Antelami is not only a testament to the sculptor's skill and artistic vision but also an important artifact that provides insight into the religious and cultural context of medieval Italy. The work remains a subject of study and admiration, highlighting Antelami's contribution to the development of Western sculpture.
