"Scenes from the Life of David" (1534) is a series of engravings by the German artist Hans Sebald Beham, one of the key figures in the group of printmakers known as the Little Masters due to their production of small, finely detailed engravings. The series depicts various episodes from the biblical narrative of David, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah, as told in the books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. Beham's work is characterized by its intricate detail and the combination of Renaissance artistic principles with the northern European tradition of printmaking.

The 1534 series includes several individual scenes that illustrate pivotal moments in David's life, such as his anointment by Samuel, his famed battle with the giant Goliath, his friendship with Jonathan, and his eventual ascension to the throne. Each engraving is a testament to Beham's skill in conveying complex narratives within the confines of a small format, often no larger than a few inches in width and height.

Hans Sebald Beham, born in Nuremberg in 1500 and active during the Reformation, was influenced by the works of Albrecht Dürer and was known for his controversial subject matter and clashes with the authorities over the content of his art. Despite these challenges, his work on biblical themes like the life of David was widely appreciated for its artistic merit and its ability to convey Protestant values and ethics through visual storytelling.

The "Scenes from the Life of David" by Beham not only reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the 16th century but also serves as an important example of the Northern Renaissance's contribution to the art of engraving. The series is notable for its vivid portrayal of human emotion, attention to detail, and the integration of Renaissance ideals of beauty and proportion into the traditional Germanic graphic style. These works remain significant in the study of early modern printmaking and the dissemination of biblical narratives through art.
