David and Goliath is a painting of David and Goliath by the seventeenth-century artist Artemisia Gentileschi. It is held by a private collection in the United Kingdom.
The painting was only identified as being by Artemisia in 2020, after work done by art historian Gianni Papi and restorer Simon Gillespie. [1] The painting features Artemisia's name painted along the blade of David's sword. Previously, the painting was attributed to Giovanni Francesco Guerrieri, a student of Artemisia's father, Orazio Gentileschi. [2] [3] [4] [5] Recent research has indicated that this work was once part of Charles I's collection. [1]
