EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful biblical scene from the 19th century. Titled "Samson kills a thousand Philistines" this engraving is part of "The main facts of holy history" series by Epinal Imaging, published by Pellerin and Cie in Epinal. The small dimensions of 5.5x3.5cm add to the intricate details and intensity depicted in this artwork. In this dramatic portrayal, we witness Samson, a prominent figure from the Bible, engaged in a fierce battle against the Philistines. With his immense strength and unwavering determination, Samson single-handedly defeats an astonishing number of one thousand enemies. The engraving showcases the brutality of war with vivid depictions of violence and bloodshed. The French School artist masterfully captures the chaos and intensity of battle through skillful use of light and shadow. This image serves as a reminder not only of Samson's incredible physical prowess but also highlights themes such as faith, courage, and divine intervention found within biblical narratives. Preserved in a private collection, this historical artifact offers us insight into religious art during the late 19th century France. Jean Duvallon's photography beautifully immortalizes this engraving for future generations to appreciate its artistic value while reflecting on timeless stories that have shaped our understanding of human nature and spirituality throughout history.
