"Samson and Delilah" is an oil painting by French artist Alexandre Cabanel, completed in 1878. The painting depicts the biblical story of Samson and Delilah from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament, where Delilah, Samson's lover, is bribed by the Philistines to discover the secret of his strength. The narrative culminates in Delilah's betrayal of Samson by cutting his hair while he sleeps, thus sapping his strength and leading to his capture.

Cabanel, a prominent figure in 19th-century French academic painting, was known for his classical and mythological themes, as well as his portraiture. He was a leading exponent of the academic art tradition, which emphasized refined technique, clarity of form, and a predilection for historical and mythological narratives. "Samson and Delilah" is a prime example of Cabanel's mastery of the academic style, showcasing his skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey narrative through composition and expression.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic intensity and the sensual portrayal of Delilah, who is shown in the act of cutting Samson's hair, symbolizing her betrayal. Cabanel's use of rich colors and detailed textures adds to the opulence of the scene, while the interplay of light and shadow enhances the emotional impact of the moment. The work reflects the 19th-century fascination with orientalism, as seen in the exotic attire and setting, which provide a backdrop for the unfolding drama.

"Samson and Delilah" by Alexandre Cabanel is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of French academic painting. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of one of the most compelling stories from biblical lore. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Cabanel's artistic legacy and the cultural milieu of the period in which he worked.
