FICHIER: 17 CARAVAGGIO DAVID AND GOLIATH2.jpg

DESCRIPTION: 17 Caravaggio David and Goliath David 1606-07 Oil on wood, 90,5 x 116 cm Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna The painting is one of the rare exceptions in the art of Caravaggio: it is painted on wood instead of canvas. Recent X-ray investigations showed that below the painting there is another representing Venus, Mars and Cupid, executed probably by one of the Mannerist painters. The attribution and the dating of the painting is debated. ....Web Gallery Of Art
