"David and Saul" is a renowned painting by the Swedish artist Ernst Josephson (1851–1906), which depicts the biblical story of King Saul and the young David, a tale from the First Book of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. Created in 1878, the painting is a significant work in Josephson's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in capturing psychological tension and dramatic intensity.

The artwork portrays the moment when David plays the harp to soothe the troubled King Saul, who is tormented by an evil spirit. Josephson's interpretation of the scene is notable for its emotional depth and the complex interplay between the characters. The young David is depicted with a serene expression, his focus on the music, while Saul is rendered with a brooding and almost menacing presence, hinting at the future conflict between the two figures.

"David and Saul" is a prime example of Josephson's fascination with historical and religious themes, which he approached with a modern sensibility. The painting reflects the influence of the Romantic movement, with its emphasis on emotion and individualism, as well as the artist's interest in exploring the psychological aspects of human relationships.

Ernst Josephson was a prominent figure in Swedish art during the late 19th century, and his work "David and Saul" is considered an important contribution to the National Romantic style that emerged in Scandinavia during that period. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is often cited as a key piece in understanding Josephson's impact on Swedish art history.

Today, "David and Saul" is housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its mastery of form and content. The painting remains a testament to Josephson's talent and his ability to convey profound narratives through his art.
