About the piece

Painted around 1631 by Nicolas Poussin, this work exemplifies the French Baroque 'Grand Manner.' The scene captures the jubilant aftermath of David's victory over Goliath, with David processing through a classical plaza while carrying the giant's severed head. Poussin's masterful use of primary colors and complex figurative arrangement creates a sense of both drama and orderly classical proportion.
