Visitors Comments on David with the Head of Goliath 3 by Caravaggio

The grotesque of this picture just fascinates me – the painter used himself as a model for both David and Goliath (if you look carefully the resemblance is obvious), symbolizing the duplicity of his own character and of the human nature in general. There is no absolute good or evil in the world, they are mingled together, one more present than the other, but both still there nonetheless...fighting the evil in the world is first fighting the evil in one’s self.
