Old Testament illustration series

David and Goliath

1 Samuel 17

A shepherd boy with a sling facing an armored giant — still the most recognizable image of courage against impossible odds in the whole Bible.

About this piece

This scene is one of nine in an original Old Testament series built as a single visual system — one palette, one geometry, one light across all of them, with no black outline and no reused stock or public-domain engravings. It works for catechesis on courage, faith and trusting God over appearances, and holds up just as well as a standalone piece or alongside the rest of the series.

Because it's vectorized, the same artwork scales from a parish bulletin insert to a full-bleed banner without being redrawn.
