About Artwork: (1658) "King David and his companions emerge from the cave of Adullam. They cannot enter the city of Bethlehem and the valley below as the Philistines, whose pitched tents are just visible in the bottom left corner, occupy both. Nevertheless, three of the King’s soldiers have bravely ventured out to fulfil his wish for a drink of water, and they have returned to offer it to him. The King raises his hands, refusing to drink. He is ashamed at having risked their lives and offers the water instead to God. This scene closely follows the account in the Old Testament book of Samuel, which was rarely painted during the seventeenth century. The composition, with its foreground activity framed by a tree and cave, leading to a hazy evening sky, is typical of Claude’s idealised landscapes. Close inspection reveals many intricate details: different plants have been placed along the bottom edge, the valley is occupied by small-scale animated figures, and buildings merge with the landscape beyond." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
