Painting Description
"David with the Head of Goliath" (1606–1607) is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, this work is one of several paintings by Caravaggio that depict the biblical story of David and Goliath. It stands out among Caravaggio's oeuvre for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its psychological complexity.
The painting portrays the young David holding the severed head of Goliath, a subject Caravaggio revisited multiple times throughout his career. However, this version is particularly noted for its somber and reflective mood, as well as the haunting self-portraiture of Caravaggio in the visage of Goliath—a feature that has intrigued art historians and critics. The inclusion of Caravaggio's own features in Goliath's face is often interpreted as a personal reflection on his tumultuous life, including his exile after a murder charge.
Measuring 125 cm × 101 cm, "David with the Head of Goliath" is executed in oil on canvas. The painting's composition is tightly focused on the figures of David and Goliath, with David shown in a moment of contemplation rather than triumph. The use of light accentuates the emotional contrast between the youthful, innocent David and the decapitated, older Goliath, emphasizing themes of redemption and mercy.
Caravaggio's "David with the Head of Goliath" is a masterpiece that exemplifies the artist's skill in combining realism with dramatic lighting to evoke emotion and narrative depth. The work is a testament to Caravaggio's influence on the Baroque style and his enduring legacy in the history of Western art.
