The Shade of Samuel Invoked by Saul, about 1650-1656. Creator: Bernardo Cavallino
The Shade of Samuel Invoked by Saul, about 1650-1656. Bernardo Cavallino depicts an episode from the Bible in which King Saul, about to enter into battle with the Philistines, asked the Witch of Endor to summon the spirit of the recently deceased prophet Samuel, the last Judge of the Israelites. Silhouetted against bright light emanating from a nearby doorway, Samuel's skin appears suitably ashen and grey. He engages the kneeling king with a penetrating stare, and delivers news that the next day the Philistines will defeat Israel and that Saul and his sons will die in battle. Cavallino eloquently conveys the emotional interaction among the three figures as Samuel relays this news
