About the Artist
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was an Italian painter known for his dramatic use of light and shadow, also called chiaroscuro. He was a pioneer in the Baroque style and is considered one of the most influential artists of all time.
The Painting
David with the Head of Goliath is a powerful painting that depicts the biblical story of David's victory over Goliath. Caravaggio's interpretation of the subject is unique, as he shows a melancholy victor who seems to reflect both on himself and his victim.
The painting is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Gemäldegalerie in Vienna, Austria. It was acquired by the conde de Villamediana in Naples between 1611 and 1617 and has been dated as early as 1600-1601.
