About Artwork: (1651) "King David was a biblical warrior king and musician, who is credited with writing several Psalms in the Old Testament. Here, David is not young but not yet old. He looks at a tablet inscribed with a line from a Psalm: ‘Glorious things of thee are spoken, O City of God’ (GLORIOSA / DICTA SVNT / DE TE CIVITAS / DEI). The luminous colouring and complex psychology exemplify Guercino’s achievements as a mature painter. The painting was commissioned in 1651 by Giuseppe Locatelli of Cesena, together with a painting of one of the ancient Sibyls. David and the Sibyls were considered prophets of the coming of Christ. The original pendant to King David, the Cumaean Sibyl with a Putto (National Gallery), was replaced by a second Samian Sibyl with a Putto (also National Gallery). King David and the Samian Sibyl have hung together for centuries, first in Cesena then in Spencer House, London." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
