🎭 David with the Head of Goliath ⠀ 👨🎨By: Caravaggi The sword in David's hand carries an abbreviated inscription H-AS OS; this has been interpreted as an abbreviation of the Latin phrase humilitas occidit superbiam ("humility kills pride"). David is perturbed, "his expression mingling sadness and compassion." The decision to depict him as pensive rather than jubilant creates an unusual psychological bond between him and Goliath. According to one interpretation, based on the portrait of Caravaggio done by Ottavio Leoni, this may be a double self-portrait.
