"David (at rest)," also known as "David: 'Oh, that I had wings like a Dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest.' Psalm 55:6," is a notable work by Lord Frederick Leighton, a preeminent figure in British art during the Victorian era. This artwork, which is a fine example of Leighton's academic style and classical subject matter, captures a moment of introspection and yearning for escape as expressed in the biblical Psalm 55:6.

The painting depicts the young David, a future king of Israel and a central figure in Judeo-Christian tradition, in a moment of contemplative repose. Leighton's portrayal of David is infused with the aesthetic ideals of the time, emphasizing beauty, harmony, and emotional resonance. The title of the work, drawn directly from the biblical text, suggests a deep sense of longing and a desire for solace, themes that resonate with the broader Victorian fascination with religious and historical narratives.

Lord Frederick Leighton (1830–1896) was a leading artist of the Victorian classical school and served as the president of the Royal Academy of Arts. His works are characterized by their technical precision, rich coloration, and the idealization of the human form. "David (at rest)" is a testament to Leighton's mastery of composition and his ability to convey complex emotional states through art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. It reflects the Victorian era's engagement with biblical themes and the search for moral and spiritual ideals amidst the rapid changes of the 19th century. As such, "David (at rest)" holds a place of importance in the oeuvre of Lord Frederick Leighton and in the study of Victorian art and society.
