"Samson Rending the Lion" (Bartsch W 2) is a notable woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the late 15th or early 16th century. This work is part of Dürer's exploration of religious and mythological themes through the medium of woodcut, a technique in which he was particularly skilled and innovative. The image depicts the biblical hero Samson, a figure known for his prodigious strength, as he tears open the jaws of a lion, an event described in the Book of Judges 14:5-6. This scene has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing the victory of faith and divine power over brute strength.

Dürer's rendition is remarkable for its dynamic composition and the intricate detail achieved through the woodcut process. The work is characterized by its dramatic use of line and contrast, which adds to the intensity of the scene. The ferocity of the struggle between man and beast is captured with a level of realism that was groundbreaking for the time. "Samson Rending the Lion" is also significant as it showcases Dürer's skill in conveying texture and movement, as well as his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of psychological depth.

The woodcut is catalogued as Bartsch W 2, following the reference system established by Adam Bartsch, an 18th-century Austrian scholar who was a prominent figure in the field of printmaking. Bartsch's catalogue of old master prints is a foundational work for the study of European printmaking, and his numbering system is still used today by art historians and collectors to identify prints.

As an artist, Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) was a key figure of the Northern Renaissance and is celebrated for his contributions to printmaking, painting, and art theory. His works are held in high esteem for their technical mastery and intellectual depth, and "Samson Rending the Lion" is a prime example of his legacy in the realm of religious art and woodcut technique. The piece remains an important work for study in the context of Dürer's oeuvre and the broader history of European art.
