EDITORS COMMENTS
In this antique print, we are transported back to the biblical tale of Samson's triumph over the Philistines. Created in 1870 by Gustave Doré and featured in "The Dore Gallery" by Edmund Ollier, this engraving is a true testament to the power of art as it brings to life an ancient story. With intricate detail and masterful technique, Doré captures the moment when Samson unleashes his strength upon his enemies. The intensity of the scene is palpable as bodies fly through the air and chaos ensues. It is a visual spectacle that leaves us in awe of Samson's might. As we gaze at this vertical composition, our eyes are drawn not only to the action unfolding before us but also to the heavenly presence above. Symbolizing divine intervention, rays of light illuminate Samson from above, emphasizing his role as a chosen instrument for God's will. Doré's skillful etching and monoprint techniques bring depth and texture to every stroke, allowing us to appreciate each minute detail with reverence. This engraved image serves not only as an illustration but also as a powerful reminder of faith and devotion. Through this exquisite work of art, we are reminded of Dante's words: "From heaven he did receive / Strength against all assailants". It is a testament to both Christianity and artistic excellence that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
