EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable ceramic dish created by the Pesaro Workshop in Italy during the 16th century. The intricate design depicts the biblical story of Samson and the Philistines, capturing a pivotal moment in this ancient tale. The image portrays Samson, known for his incredible strength, engaged in an intense battle against his enemies. With his iconic long hair cut off by Delilah, he stands defiantly nude, showcasing both vulnerability and determination. In one hand, he holds the jawbone of a donkey from which he drinks water – symbolizing resourcefulness amidst adversity. The dish vividly captures the clash between Samson and the Philistines as they confront each other with fierce intensity. It also highlights their ongoing conflict and struggle for dominance over Palestine. As a judge of Israel, Samson's victory over these formidable opponents is not only depicted here but also represents triumph over evil forces more broadly. This powerful artwork serves as a testament to courage and resilience in times of adversity. Now housed at Musee National de Ceramique in Sevres, France, this exquisite piece exemplifies Italian craftsmanship from centuries past. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today while reminding us of enduring themes such as bravery and perseverance that resonate throughout history.
