EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of Samson, Judges, Chapter 16, Verse 30 (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in biblical history. This stunning engraving by the English School from the 19th century depicts the tragic demise of Samson, a legendary figure known for his immense strength. Taken from The Christians Complete Family Bible adorned with fifty-five superb embellishments by John Fowler in 1809, this illustration showcases the talent and skill of the engraver. Every intricate detail is meticulously etched into the print, bringing to life the dramatic scene described in Judges. Samson's death is depicted as an act of sacrifice and redemption. With his hair shorn off - symbolizing his loss of strength - he pushes against two pillars supporting a grand structure. As he exerts all his remaining might, these pillars crumble under his forceful push, causing both himself and those who betrayed him to meet their ultimate fate. The artist masterfully captures the intensity and emotion surrounding this event. The viewer can almost feel Samson's determination as he confronts his enemies one last time. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in death, there can be triumph over adversity. This engraving not only showcases artistic brilliance but also invites contemplation on themes such as mortality and judgment found within biblical narratives.
