"David Beheading Goliath" is a renowned painting by Flemish Renaissance artist Michiel van Coxie, depicting the biblical episode from the Book of Samuel where the young David triumphs over the Philistine giant Goliath. This work is an exemplar of the Mannerist style that flourished in Europe during the 16th century, characterized by its complex composition, elongated figures, and heightened emotion, all of which are evident in van Coxie's dramatic rendering of the scene.

Michiel van Coxie, sometimes referred to as the Flemish Raphael, was born in Mechelen and trained in the workshop of Bernard van Orley. His work was greatly influenced by his time in Italy, where he studied the works of Raphael and other Italian masters, which is reflected in the sophisticated use of perspective and the classical idealization of the figures in "David Beheading Goliath."

The painting captures the moment immediately after David has felled Goliath with a stone from his sling; the young hero stands over the giant, sword in hand, preparing to decapitate him. The contrast between the youthful, divinely inspired David and the massive, fallen warrior Goliath is a powerful representation of the triumph of good over evil, a theme that resonated with Renaissance audiences and continues to captivate viewers today.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been completed during the height of van Coxie's career, likely in the mid-16th century. "David Beheading Goliath" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the cultural and religious milieu of the Renaissance period.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its vivid portrayal of one of the most dramatic episodes in biblical lore. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Michiel van Coxie and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mannerist movement in European art history.
