Aegidius Sadeler - Saul richt een speer op David

description

Summary

De jonge David speelt op zijn harp. Hij staat voor de troon van koning Saul. Saul ontsteekt in razernij en probeert met een speer de jongen te doden. Hij wordt tegengehouden door enkele dienaren en soldaten. De prent heeft een Latijns onderschrift met uitleg en rechts in de hoek een vers uit psalm 31.

David was a skilled musician and poet, and he played the harp to soothe King Saul when he was tormented by evil spirits. David's musical abilities and his role as a psalmist also led him to be associated with the worship of God and with the expression of devotion and praise. The image of David playing the harp remains a symbol of the connection between music, worship, and devotion in Western tradition.
