Inspired by Art: Fighting Goliath

My new book, a collection of art throughout the ages, which depicts the battle with Goliath through the eye of famous artists, is already here:

Inspired by Art: Fighting Goliath is a collection of art throughout the ages, around the story of David. This volume focuses on the epic battle with Goliath. 
These amazing sculptures, paintings, etchings, and manuscript illustrations inspired the author to write The David Chronicles, a series of three volumes, the first of which is the novel Rise to Power, where she imagines the battle with Goliath
Besides being an artist and having worked as an architect, she taught art history, and this collection served as the basis for a study course analyzing the contrasts in viewpoints around the biblical story. 
This collection is arranged not by artist, nor by artistic style or era, but rather by moment-by-moment in the story, blow--by-blow, as imagined by various artists: Michelangelo, Bernini, Dali, Adrea del Verrocchio, Donatello, Titian, Rembrandt, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Rubens, Degas, and Barry Moser, to name but a few.

  1. Uvi fantastic addition to Rise to Power. I'll want to revisit David while reading Fighting Goliath. Thank you for the Free book, as well.

    1. Oh, totally my pleasure Suzanne. I find it enriching to witness the story through the imagination of amazing, world-renowned artists throughout history. There are so many--and at time conflicting--ways to depict each moment in the story.
