EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring painting "Samson and Delilah" by Luca Giordano, a renowned Italian artist from the 17th century. The artwork is housed in Apsley House, London, where it stands as a testament to Giordano's exceptional talent and creativity. The scene depicted in this masterpiece revolves around the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. With his muscular physique and flowing locks, Samson is portrayed as a symbol of strength and power. However, his vulnerability becomes apparent as he falls prey to the seductive charms of Delilah, who cunningly betrays him by cutting off his hair - the source of his incredible might. Giordano's brushstrokes breathe life into this dramatic narrative, capturing every emotion with remarkable precision. From Samson's despair upon realizing his betrayal to Delilah's treacherous allure, each detail evokes a sense of tension that resonates with viewers even centuries later. What makes this particular print even more intriguing is its historical significance. It was captured by Wellington at Vitoria in 1813 during war times when art preservation was not always prioritized. As part of the Spanish Royal Collection before falling into British hands, this painting has endured tumultuous journeys throughout history. Through this print from Historic England Photo Library, we are granted an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind Giordano's work and its enduring legacy within our cultural heritage.
