EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic tale of Samson, the valiant Israelite hero, as he endures a treacherous journey filled with betrayal and triumph. Illustrated by the talented Gustave Dore in 1866 for The Bible, this wood engraving brings to life the epic story from Judges. In this powerful scene, we witness Samson's tragic downfall after being deceived by Delilah, his love interest turned betrayer. Taken prisoner and cruelly blinded by the Philistines, Samson's spirit remains unbroken. With unwavering determination and an indomitable will, he regains his strength against all odds. The illustration vividly portrays Samson's triumphant moment as he stands within the grand Temple of Dagon. His regained strength becomes his weapon as he single-handedly brings down this symbol of oppression and false worship. The temple crashes around him in a spectacular display of divine justice. Gustave Dore's masterful artistry shines through in every intricate detail of this engraving. His skillful brushstrokes capture both the physical strength and spiritual resilience that define Samson's character. This profound image serves not only as a visual representation but also as a reminder of faith tested and redemption achieved. It encapsulates themes central to Judeo-Christian beliefs while showcasing Dore's exceptional talent as an illustrator and painter
