http://www.blulight.it - ART GALLERY - Samson and Delilah is a painting by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). It dates from about 1609 to 1610. The painting depicts an episode from the Old Testament story of Samson and Delilah (Judges 16). Samson, having fallen in love with Delilah, tells her the secret of his great strength: his uncut hair. Rubens portrays the moment, when having fallen asleep on Delilah's lap, a servant proceeds to cut Samsons hair. After, a weakened Samson is arrested by Philistine soldiers. The soldiers can be seen in the right-hand background of the painting.

  • @316RawDogg That's a ridiculous thing to say.

  • Sampson and Delilah were black and Sampson had dreads. This is how history and the Bible is flawed...
