Dutch 16th Century

This Dutch artist made engravings in the 1550s that retell the biblical story of David and Saul. The prints show David’s early battles, from cutting off Goliath’s head to bringing gifts to the king. Each sheet uses sharp lines to build texture and depth, a technique common in Northern Renaissance book illustrations and single-sheet prints. If you like detailed storytelling with a historical twist, tap *David Armed before Saul*—it’s the first in this series.
