EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating coloured engraving of "Samson and Delilah" takes us back to biblical times, depicting a pivotal scene from the Old Testament. This 19th-century artwork, housed in a private collection, beautifully captures the intensity and drama of this religious tale. In this powerful image, we witness Samson's immense strength juxtaposed with Delilah's cunning betrayal. The engraving showcases the moment when Samson's long hair is being cut by Delilah, symbolizing his loss of divine power. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between these two characters as they stand amidst an atmospheric backdrop. This print serves as a visual reminder of the age-old conflict between the Israelites and Philistines, highlighting themes such as faithfulness, deception, and redemption found within biblical narratives.
