David with the Head of Goliath Notebook and Pen Gift Set combines a lined notebook featuring Caravaggio’s Vienna version of the biblical scene with a matching refillable metal pen and a presentation box. It brings a major Baroque composition into a practical format for writing, study, planning and journaling.
The front cover features a single-sided UV print based on Caravaggio’s David with the Head of Goliath, with David’s illuminated face and torso, his extended hand holding Goliath’s head, white drapery and a deep dark background. Four cover colors let you choose the presentation that best supports the artwork.

The Vienna composition is built around a concentrated relationship between David and the severed head he holds at arm’s length. Caravaggio directs light toward David’s face, torso, white drapery and Goliath’s features while allowing much of the surrounding space to remain dark. That concentrated light-dark structure gives the design a clear focal hierarchy on the notebook cover.
The original painting is horizontal, so the product works only when the crop keeps David’s face, the holding hand and Goliath’s head visually connected. When those elements remain together, the biblical narrative can still be understood at notebook and collection-card scale without requiring the full width of the museum painting.
Black is the recommended hero color because it extends the dark ground beyond the printed image and preserves the painting’s illuminated forms as the main visual focus. The compact grouping also allows the artwork to remain identifiable without requiring the full horizontal composition of the museum painting. Its combination of dramatic narrative, Baroque light and everyday usefulness makes it a distinctive notebook design for Caravaggio admirers.
Unlike a purely decorative gift, a notebook becomes part of everyday life. The artwork is seen repeatedly while writing, planning, studying or journaling, creating a more personal connection with the painting over time.
The lined pages make the notebook suitable for personal notes, meetings, study and creative writing. The matching refillable metal pen keeps the set visually coordinated, while the presentation box completes the gift-ready format.
Black is the recommended hero color. It follows the painting’s deep dark ground and creates a natural transition between the printed composition and the surrounding cover material, allowing David’s illuminated flesh, white drapery and Goliath’s head to remain visually prominent.
Blue gives the artwork a cooler surrounding field while retaining strong contrast with the warm flesh tones and white fabric. It provides more visible separation between the dark painting and the surrounding cover.
Brown supports the painting’s earth tones and warm flesh while remaining close to the brown-black tonal structure of the shadows. It creates a restrained presentation that suits the Baroque palette without competing with the illuminated figures.
Red creates the strongest expressive contrast of the four options. It frames the warm flesh tones and dramatic biblical subject more assertively while keeping the artwork itself as the visual focus when the crop and contrast are correctly balanced.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum catalogues its Vienna painting under the title David with Goliath’s Head and dates it to around 1600/01. Caravaggio shows David holding the defeated Goliath’s head after the biblical combat, using concentrated illumination against a dark ground to focus attention on the figures and their physical presence.
The work is painted on poplar wood, an unusual support for Caravaggio, and measures approximately 91.2 × 116.2 cm. It is held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The museum places the painting close to works from Caravaggio’s Roman period and describes the victorious David as unusually reflective rather than simply triumphant.
The portrait-oriented notebook requires a carefully selected crop, allowing the central relationship between David and Goliath to remain immediately recognizable while adapting a landscape composition to an everyday writing format. The restrained number of principal figures makes this possible, provided David, the holding hand and Goliath’s head remain visually connected.
