EDITORS COMMENTS
Samson's Defiant Act: A Testament of Strength and Determination (Judges 16:3-7, circa 1690) This evocative 17th-century woodcut print depicts the biblical hero Samson in the midst of a remarkable feat of strength, as he carries off the gates of the city of Gaza on his shoulders. The scene is taken from the Old Testament book of Judges, where Samson, a Nazarite and a man of great physical power, is driven by his love for the Philistine woman Delilah to reveal the secret of his strength – his long hair. Betrayed and captured, Samson's hair is shorn, stripping him of his power. But in this moment, as he stands before the gates of Gaza, his strength is restored through a divine intervention, allowing him to seize the gates and carry them away, using them as a weapon against his enemies. The intricately detailed woodcut print captures the raw emotion and intensity of the moment, with Samson's muscular form and determined expression conveying the depth of his resolve. The gates of the city, with their imposing size and ornate design, serve as a stark reminder of the power and might of the Philistines, which Samson has managed to overcome. The print, created in the late 1600s, is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the continued fascination with the story of Samson and his extraordinary strength. The woodcut print, with its rich historical context and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the 17th century, making it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on biblical art, religious history, or the history of art itself.
