About the piece
Created by Peter Paul Rubens in 1609, this iconic work depicts the biblical narrative of Samson and Delilah with intense emotional realism. The painting is a study in tension, utilizing a rich palette of deep reds and golds contrasted against dark shadows (chiaroscuro) to heighten the sense of impending danger as the Philistine soldiers watch from the shadows.
