Description : Davide con la testa di Golia

Oil on canvas. This is a reverse copy of the work of the same name by Guido Reni (1575 -1642), created around 1605 and currently preserved in the Uffizi Museum in Florence. Numerous replicas of Reni's work were made. The work depicts the figure of the young David permeated by a certain icy coldness associated with a melancholic elegance in the pose and in the dandy's clothing, with a red plumed hat; although the moment is rather bloody, due to the display of the severed head of the giant Goliath. David holds it with one hand to stare at its face with a detached air, and now distant from the fatigue of the accomplished feat, of which the slingshot he holds in the other hand recalls. The figures stand out against a dark background, from which they emerge with plays of light and shadow. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in an early 1900s frame.
