"Samson and Delilah" is a painting attributed to a Follower of Caravaggio, an unidentified artist or group of artists who were influenced by the style and techniques of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, a prominent Italian painter of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The painting depicts the biblical story of Samson and Delilah from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. In this narrative, Delilah is bribed by the Philistine lords to discover the secret of Samson's strength, which lies in his uncut hair. The artwork captures the moment Delilah betrays Samson by having his hair cut while he sleeps, leading to his capture.

The painting is executed in the characteristic tenebrist style associated with Caravaggio, employing dramatic contrasts of light and shadow to heighten the emotional intensity of the scene. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with deep variations in light to create a sense of volume and form, is evident in the work and reflects the influence of Caravaggio's revolutionary approach to painting.

While the exact identity of the Follower of Caravaggio who created "Samson and Delilah" remains unknown, the artwork is a testament to the enduring impact of Caravaggio's artistry on his contemporaries and the generations that followed. The painting's attribution to a follower rather than to Caravaggio himself suggests that it was likely created after the master's death in 1610, by an artist or artists who had adopted his dramatic style and subject matter.

"Samson and Delilah" by a Follower of Caravaggio is an important work for the study of Caravaggisti, the group of artists influenced by Caravaggio's techniques and themes. It contributes to the understanding of the dissemination and evolution of Caravaggio's stylistic legacy across Europe. The painting is also significant for its interpretation of a popular biblical story, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the Baroque period.
