ABOUT THE WORK

Jonathan's Token To David by Frederic Leighton was created in 1868 and is in Minneapolis Institute of Art. The size of the work is 171,5 x 124,5 cm and is made of oil on canvas. This painting illustrates a scene from the Old Testament. After the prophet Samuel anointed David as King Saul's successor, Saul became jealous and plotted David's death. Here the artist shows David's loyal friend Jonathan (Saul's son) preparing to shoot three arrows as a warning to David who is hiding in a field. Most artists who interpreted the story of Jonathan and David's friendship depicted the emotional climax when the two say their final farewells. Leighton chose an earlier scene in order to celebrate the ideal of heroic male beauty. Jonathan's pose derives from the famous Renaissance sculpture of David by Michelangelo. The Artist: Frederic Leighton (1830 - 1896) was a British painter, draughtsman and sculptor. His works depicted historical, biblical, and classical subject matter in an academic style. His paintings were enormously popular, and expensive, during his lifetime, but fell out of critical favour for many decades in the early 20th century. Art Movement: Academic Classicism The Theme of the Work: Famous Persons
