๐จ David: "Oh, that I had wings like a Dove! For then would I fly away, and be at rest." Psalm 55:6, 1865

About the artwork:
This painting depicts the biblical King David, a frequent subject in art due to his complex character and dramatic life as described in the scriptures.chosen verse, Psalm 55:6, expresses Davidโs desire for escape from the turmoil surrounding him, a theme that Leighton visualizes with a reflective and evocative representation of David yearning for peace.
David might be depicted in a moment of solitude and contemplation, perhaps looking towards the heavens or in a pose that suggests his longing for escape. would likely emphasize the emotional intensity of the scene through the use of dramatic lighting and shadow, highlighting expression and the setting around him, which could be either a palace or a secluded outdoor space, adding to the sense of isolation and contemplation. 2 replies
