The Dance, an intimate moment shared between King David and Johnathan. I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; you were very dear to me.

Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women." (2 Samuel 1:26, NIV)

The tale of King David and Jonathan serves as a powerful example of the enduring bonds of friendship and loyalty, even in the face of adversity and political intrigue. It is a testament to the strength of their relationship and the depth of their commitment to one another, despite the challenges they faced.

I was inspired  by the design work of Gustav Klimt and Byzantine art.
