About the piece
Created by Jan Adriaensz van Staveren around 1625, this oil on panel work captures the explosive moment of King Saul's jealousy directed at the young David. The composition is a masterful example of the Dutch Golden Age style, using a sharp contrast of light and shadow to heighten the emotional stakes and theatricality of the palace interior.
