EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Samson puts the wheat fields of the Philistines in fire" by Cornelis Massijs, we are transported back to ancient times and witness a scene filled with intensity and destruction. The image depicts Samson, a legendary biblical figure known for his immense strength, setting ablaze the cornfields of his enemies. With great detail and precision, Massijs captures the chaos unfolding before our eyes. Samson is seen strategically tying pairs of foxes together by their tails while holding a flaming torch. As he crosses the cornfield, these fiery torches light up one after another, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. The artist's skillful use of color and composition adds depth to this dramatic moment. The vibrant flames contrast against the darkened sky as sparks dance through the air. The sheer power emanating from Samson is palpable as he executes his plan with determination and vengeance. This artwork serves as a reminder of both Samson's extraordinary strength and his desire for retribution against those who oppressed him. It encapsulates an important chapter in biblical history while showcasing Massijs' talent for capturing moments that evoke emotion within viewers. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic brilliance.
