This painting featuring David of Bethlehem holding a loaded sling up while taunting Goliath is the first BiblePainting to feature anamorphic art.
While the contrasting light and dark paint in the background reveal the imagery, the red object is a distorted crown of a king.
Before David faced Goliath, he was anointed by Samuel to be king. David was young and small, but his confidence in God was big! David had faced lions and bears while protecting his father’s sheep in the fields, and he approached Goliath in the same manner.
Many people think that the story of a young boy killing a giant who had every advantage is an inspirational story of how the little man can take on big challenges. This true story actually shows us that no worldly advantage can stand up to God’s power.
Back yourself with David and realize God’s power too. The anamorphic art in this piece shows God’s power when you view the painting at an angle from the far left side and the crown is no longer distorted.
