EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Albrecht Altdorfer's masterpiece, "Samson Delilah 1506". Created with pen and black ink on brown prepared paper, this artwork is brought to life through white heightening techniques. The sheet measures approximately 6 3/4 x 4 13/16 inches (171 x 122 cm), making it a remarkable display of intricate details. In this scene, we witness the biblical tale of Samson and Delilah unfold. Within a picturesque landscape setting in Regensburg, Germany, Samson lies peacefully asleep with his head resting upon Delilah's lap. Little does he know that she holds scissors ready to sever his hair and strip him of his immense strength. As if anticipating their victory over Samson, soldiers wait in the background while judges prepare for his arrest. The tension builds as Delilah gestures towards them, signaling her readiness to betray her lover. Altdorfer's skillful hand captures every emotion and nuance in this dramatic moment from Judges 13:16. Through meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow, he transports us into the heart of this ancient story. This print by Artokoloro allows us to appreciate Altdorfer's artistic genius up close. It serves as a testament not only to the artist but also to the enduring power of storytelling through visual art.
