Painting Description
"Samson Fighting with the Lion" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1497. This work is part of a series of large woodcuts that Dürer produced during the 1490s, which were unprecedented in their scale and complexity for this medium. The woodcut depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Judges (14:5-6), where Samson, a hero of the Israelites, demonstrates his God-given strength by tearing apart a lion with his bare hands.
In Dürer's rendition, the ferocity of the struggle is vividly captured, with Samson's muscles tensed as he grapples with the lion, whose jaws are forced open in a display of raw power. The work is notable for its dynamic composition and the intricate details that Dürer was able to achieve through the woodcut technique. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the use of hatching and cross-hatching, lend the scene a dramatic and three-dimensional quality.
"Samson Fighting with the Lion" reflects Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to convey intense emotion and physicality. It also exemplifies the artist's interest in human anatomy and the study of proportion, which were central to his artistic practice. This woodcut, along with others from the same period, helped establish Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost printmakers of his time and contributed to the dissemination of his style across Europe.
The woodcut is held in various collections and has been widely studied for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an important example of Dürer's early work and of the Northern Renaissance's contribution to the development of printmaking as an art form.
