About the piece
This mid-17th-century Italian masterpiece captures the climactic moment from the Book of Judges where Samson pulls down the pillars of the Philistine temple. Likely produced by the Genoese School, the painting exemplifies the dramatic tension and theatrical chiaroscuro of the Baroque era, emphasizing muscular strain and the chaotic collapse of ancient architecture.
