EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Samsons Fall" we are transported back to biblical times, where the story of Samson and Delilah unfolds. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is a testament to the enduring power of religious tales. The scene depicted here is one of great significance - it captures the pivotal moment when Samson's strength and freedom are betrayed by his love for Delilah. As he lies asleep on her lap, she cunningly cuts off his hair, symbolizing the source of his extraordinary might. The anguish on Samson's face is palpable as he awakens to find himself weakened and vulnerable. This artwork was originally featured in "The Bible Album" a publication by Ward and Lock circa 1870. Printed with delicate tints by Edmund Evans, every detail comes alive through masterful craftsmanship. The intricate lines and textures bring depth to each character's expression, enhancing our understanding of their emotions. Now part of a private collection, this print serves as a visual reminder of the timeless stories that have shaped our culture for centuries. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as betrayal, temptation, and redemption found within biblical narratives. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us access to these remarkable works from history while preserving their beauty for generations to come. Through this image capture from Look and Learn archives ©, we can appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical significance as an invaluable piece of religious art
