"The Anointing of David" is a painting by Harold Copping, a British artist known for his religious and literary-themed works. Created in the early 20th century, this artwork depicts the biblical scene from the First Book of Samuel, where the young David is anointed by the prophet Samuel to be the future king of Israel, succeeding Saul. This moment is significant in Judeo-Christian tradition as it marks the divine selection of David, who would later become one of the most important figures in the Bible, known for his psalms and as the slayer of Goliath.

Copping's representation of this pivotal moment is characterized by his attention to historical detail and his ability to convey the emotional depth of the characters involved. The painting typically features the young David, often portrayed with a shepherd's staff, reflecting his humble origins, and the venerable Samuel, who anoints him with oil in the presence of David's family. The use of light and color in the painting emphasizes the spiritual significance of the event, with divine light often shining upon David to symbolize his chosen status.

Harold Copping (1863–1932) was a popular illustrator in his time, and his works were widely disseminated through prints and religious publications, contributing to the visual culture of biblical narratives. "The Anointing of David" is one of many biblical scenes he illustrated, and it exemplifies his skill in bringing these stories to life for contemporary audiences. While the exact date of creation for this painting is not well-documented, it remains an example of Copping's enduring legacy in religious art.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Copping that has been appreciated for its didactic and aesthetic qualities. Although not as well-known today as some of his contemporaries, Copping's work continues to be of interest to those studying religious illustration and the portrayal of biblical themes in art. "The Anointing of David" stands as a testament to Copping's artistic vision and his contribution to the visual interpretation of biblical stories.
