Painting Description
"David with the Head of Goliath" is a celebrated painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created circa 1607. Housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, this powerful work of art is renowned for its dramatic realism, psychological depth, and the use of chiaroscuro—a technique that contrasts light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling the figures. The painting depicts the biblical hero David holding the severed head of the Philistine giant Goliath, whom he has defeated in combat as recounted in the First Book of Samuel.
Caravaggio's interpretation of this biblical scene is unique for its intimate and somber portrayal, diverging from the triumphant representations commonly found in the art of his contemporaries. David is shown with a contemplative expression, evoking a sense of empathy rather than exultation. The head of Goliath is often considered a self-portrait of Caravaggio, adding a layer of personal reflection on sin and redemption, themes that resonate with the artist's tumultuous life.
The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures 125 cm × 101 cm. It is one of two versions of the subject by Caravaggio; the other, slightly earlier version is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. "David with the Head of Goliath" is regarded as a masterpiece of Baroque art and a testament to Caravaggio's influence on the development of European painting. Its stark realism and emotional intensity exemplify the artist's groundbreaking approach to religious and historical subjects, which would profoundly impact the course of Western art.
