EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the 16th century, capturing the essence of one of history's most infamous couples - Samson and Delilah. Created by artist A Bisson in 1849, this engraving is a stunning rendition based on an original woodcut from the same era. The image portrays a moment of intense emotion and betrayal between Samson and Delilah. The couple's contrasting expressions reveal their complex relationship - love intertwined with deception. Delilah, with her flowing hair cascading around her face, holds a pair of scissors ominously close to Samson's locks, symbolizing his immense strength that will soon be severed. Religious undertones are evident as this scene draws inspiration from biblical accounts found in the Old Testament. It serves as a reminder of the consequences that can arise when faith is compromised for personal gain. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful portrayal. Every line etched into the print tells a story, emphasizing each character's role within it. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported not only through centuries but also into the minds and hearts of these iconic figures. Their story continues to captivate audiences today as it did during its inception centuries ago.
