Bible Game · Chapter 14
Nathan and David
The prophet Nathan stands before King David and tells a story — a rich man seized and killed the one little lamb of a poor man. David burns with anger and pronounces judgment. Yet whether what he is measuring is really someone else's affair, he does not yet know.

The painting in this case
Rembrandt van Rijn · 1650s · Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York — no one caught a single biblical instant in a few strokes of the reed pen like Rembrandt. Beside the speaking prophet, the king sits frozen, hand to his cheek — the very moment 'You are the man' landed inside him.
