"The Capture of Samson" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Christiaen van Couwenbergh. Created in 1628, this artwork depicts the biblical scene of Samson's betrayal by Delilah, a narrative derived from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. In the painting, Samson, the Herculean figure known for his superhuman strength, is shown at the moment of his capture, having been weakened by the loss of his hair, which Delilah has deceitfully cut while he was asleep.

Van Couwenbergh, born in 1604 in Gouda and later active in Delft, was a contemporary of the more famous Dutch Golden Age painters. His style was influenced by the Utrecht Caravaggisti, a group of Dutch artists who were inspired by the dramatic chiaroscuro and realism of the Italian painter Caravaggio. This influence is evident in "The Capture of Samson," where the artist employs stark contrasts of light and shadow to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene.

The painting is notable for its dynamic composition and the vivid expressions of its characters, which convey the tension and drama of the moment. Samson's muscular form and anguished face draw the viewer's attention, while the surrounding figures, including Delilah and the Philistine soldiers, add to the narrative complexity of the work.

"The Capture of Samson" is an important example of Dutch Golden Age painting and contributes to the understanding of biblical storytelling in the visual arts during this period. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied for its artistic and historical significance within the oeuvre of Christiaen van Couwenbergh and the broader context of 17th-century Dutch painting.
