You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''David with the Head of Goliath''''', dated ((circa)) 1600-1601, is a painting by the Italian artist [[Caravaggio]] (1571–1610), housed in the [[Kunsthistorisches Museum]] Gemäldegalerie, [[Vienna]]. [[Peter Robb (author)|Peter Robb]] believes it was acquired by the conde de Villamediana in [[Naples]] between 1611 and 1617, as [[Giovanni Bellori]] records Villamediana as having returned to Spain with a half-figure of David by Caravaggio.

==Painting==
Caravaggio also treated this subject in [[David with the Head of Goliath (Caravaggio), Rome|another work]] currently in the [[Galleria Borghese]], Rome, and in [[David and Goliath (Caravaggio)|an early work]] dated ((circa)) 1600 in the [[Museo del Prado|Prado]] in Madrid.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.museodelprado.es/en/the-collection/art-work/david-with-the-head-of-goliath/c3895900-73d4-4257-97fb-240e3aaf0402|title=David with the head of Goliath|website=Museo del Prado|access-date=6 February 2017))</ref>

The exact moment depicted appears to be that referred to in I Samuel 17:57: "When David came back after killing the Philistine, Abner took him and presented him to Saul with the Philistine's head still in his hand." The pose is a usual one for the episode, showing David striding in triumph with the head in his hand. In the Borghese version this has changed to an unconventional frontal presentation of the head toward the viewer, who is thereby placed in the position of Saul.

The painting can be compared with the aforementioned ''David with the Head of Goliath'' in the Galleria Borghese, which dates from either 1607 or 1609–10. The two are very similar—Caravaggio frequently explored a subject in multiple variations, most notably his [[John the Baptist (Caravaggio)|many versions of John the Baptist]]—but the Vienna painting is less dark in mood, the David more triumphant than the introspective and oddly compassionate David of the Borghese, and the head of Goliath, widely accepted as a self-portrait in the Borghese work, is more generic.

The model for David in both versions appears to be a more mature version of the pubescent [[Cupid]] of ''[[Amor Vincit Omnia (Caravaggio)|Amor Vincit Omnia]]'' and the Capitoline and Pamphilj ''[[John the Baptist (Caravaggio)|John the Baptist]]'', all painted around 1602. The model for these works has been identified by some, most notably [[Peter Robb (author)|Peter Robb]], as Cecco, a boy known to have been Caravaggio's apprentice and lover in Rome in the early 17th century and believed by Robb to be identical with [[Cecco del Caravaggio]], an artist active in Rome in the period 1610–1625 and painting very much in Caravaggio's manner.((cn|date=September 2023)) There is no record of Cecco having been with Caravaggio after the artist's flight from Rome in 1606.

==In popular culture==
The painting featured on the cover art for the 2020 album, [[Pray for Paris]], by American rapper [[Westside Gunn]]. The cover was designed by the fashion designer [[Virgil Abloh]] and features a cropped version of the painting with photoshopped chains on David's neck.<ref>((Cite web |last=Pierre |first=Alphonse |title=Westside Gunn: Pray for Paris |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/westside-gunn-pray-for-paris/ |access-date=2023-11-21 |website=Pitchfork |language=en-US))</ref>
