About the piece
Painted around 1620, this work by Sir Anthony van Dyck exemplifies the Flemish Baroque style through its dynamic composition and rich use of color. The scene illustrates the climax of the story of Samson and Delilah, where the sleeping hero is shorn of his strength amidst a theatrical arrangement of figures and deep shadows.
