EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Samson's Riddle" takes us back to the 19th century, where English School artists beautifully depicted biblical stories. The image is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Boys of Bible Story No 3 by C J Ridgeway, with the talented hands of Henry Ryland and John Lawson bringing it to life. In this scene, we witness a young boy engrossed in unraveling Samson's enigmatic riddle. His eyes sparkle with curiosity and determination as he delves into the depths of ancient wisdom. Surrounded by other children, he stands out as a beacon of youthful intellect among his peers. The print transports us to a time when biblical tales were shared with fervor amongst children eager to learn moral lessons from their sacred texts. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, these timeless stories continue to captivate young minds and shape their understanding of morality. While gazing at this artwork, one cannot help but marvel at the intricate details meticulously crafted by these skilled artists. Every brushstroke brings forth emotions that resonate through generations, reminding us of the power art holds in preserving history and inspiring future generations. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece from Fine Art Finder that not only showcases artistic brilliance but also invites contemplation on faith, knowledge-seeking youthfulness, and the enduring influence of biblical narratives on society.
