EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Samson and Delilah" by Hans Burgkmair, we are transported back to the year 1519 in Germany. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the essence of this biblical tale. The scene depicts the infamous story of Samson, a man blessed with extraordinary strength, and his treacherous lover Delilah. Burgkmair's masterful use of lines and shading brings these characters to life on the page. Samson stands tall and muscular, his powerful physique emphasized by intricate etchings that highlight every muscle fiber. His face portrays both determination and vulnerability as he unknowingly falls into Delilah's trap. Delilah, portrayed with an air of seduction and deceitfulness, gazes at Samson with a mix of cunningness and desire. Her flowing hair cascades down her shoulders while her delicate fingers gently touch Samson's locks - symbolizing her betrayal that will ultimately lead to his downfall. The overall composition is enhanced by the contrast between light and shadow, adding depth to each figure while creating a sense of drama within the narrative. This woodcut print serves as a testament to Burgkmair's artistic prowess in capturing complex emotions through intricate details carved onto wood. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Liszt Collection, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us through time - allowing us to witness one of history's most iconic tales unfold
