EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene from "The story of Samson" painted by Jorg I Breu in the early 16th century. The artwork, displayed at Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland, depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical tale of Samson and Delilah. In this intense composition, we witness the treacherous act committed by Delilah as she betrays Samson's secret to his enemies, the Philistines. As he slumbers unaware, she severs his source of strength - his hair. Subsequently blinded and captured by his foes, Samson is taken to their temple where they celebrate their victory over him. However, even in captivity and weakened state, our hero does not lose hope. With unwavering faith and determination, he pleads with God for one last surge of power. Leaning against two pillars supporting the temple structure, Samson summons all his remaining strength to bring down the entire building upon himself and all those inside it. Breu's masterful brushwork beautifully portrays both the physical prowess of Samson and the despairing chaos that unfolds around him. This painting serves as a reminder of bravery in adversity and highlights themes such as religious devotion and divine intervention found within biblical narratives. "The story of Samson" remains an enduring symbol of triumph over evil forces throughout history. It continues to inspire viewers with its timeless message about courage in times of great peril.
