EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sampson Slaying the Lion, Judges, XIV" transports us back to biblical times with its powerful imagery. Created by an unknown English artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a scene from the Book of Judges in the Bible. In this dramatic depiction, Sampson, known for his incredible strength and divine power bestowed upon him by God, fearlessly confronts a ferocious lion. With his muscular physique and determined expression, Sampson engages in a life-or-death struggle against the mighty beast. The tension is palpable as he grapples with all his might to overpower and slay the lion. The intricate details of this engraving bring every element to life – from the texture of Sampson's hair and flowing garments to the fierce snarl on the lion's face. The composition expertly captures both Sampson's physical prowess and unwavering faith in God's guidance. Although we do not know which specific volume or publication this illustration was originally intended for, it serves as a testament to how art can breathe new life into ancient stories. This print invites viewers to reflect on themes of courage, determination, and triumph over adversity that resonate across time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and Fine Art Finder's discovery of this hidden gem within their private collection; we are fortunate enough today to appreciate this remarkable piece of religious artistry that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
