EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Andrea Mantegna's masterpiece, "Samson and Delilah" created around 1500. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament story of Samson, known for his legendary strength, and Delilah, who cunningly betrays him. Measuring at 47x36.8 cm, this glue size on linen composition can be found in the prestigious National Gallery in London. Mantegna's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the intensity of this biblical tale. The viewer is drawn to Samson's muscular physique and flowing locks that symbolize his immense power. Meanwhile, Delilah delicately holds a pair of scissors while entwined within a vine - an allusion to her role in Samson's downfall. The classical style employed by Mantegna adds depth and drama to the scene, transporting us back to ancient times where judges ruled over Israel. This iconic artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless narrative and artistic brilliance.
