1659 Bottom Dagon Dated Oak Wood Signed Style Temple Salomon De Bray
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Samson tears the temple of Dagon" by Salomon de Bray, a renowned artist from Amsterdam. Created in 1659, this oil painting on oak wood measures 65.2 x 51.1 cm and is signed and dated on the fountain bowl: D BrAY 1659. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene from biblical lore, where Samson, known for his incredible strength, unleashes his fury upon the temple of Dagon. With immense power and determination, he tears down the pillars supporting the grand structure while surrounded by astonished onlookers. Salomon de Bray's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the raw emotion of Samson's triumph and the intricate architectural elements of the temple. The composition exudes a sense of energy and movement as debris flies through the air amidst crumbling walls. The bottom section bears additional markings in black: "58 12/20" and "59 1/9" possibly indicating important dates or references related to either Salomon de Bray or someone associated with him. This remarkable piece exemplifies De Bray's mastery in depicting historical narratives with exceptional skill and precision. It serves as a testament to his artistic brilliance during Amsterdam's Golden Age art scene.
