"Samson and Delilah" is a lunette fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Gerolamo Romanino between 1531 and 1532. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament, located in the Cathedral of Cremona, Italy. Romanino, known for his expressive figures and vivid use of color, was a prominent artist of the Northern Italian Renaissance, particularly in the Lombardy region.

The lunette, a semi-circular wall section typical of Italian architecture, serves as the canvas for Romanino's depiction of the biblical story of Samson and Delilah from the Book of Judges. In this narrative, Delilah betrays Samson, the hero of the Israelites, by cutting his hair, the source of his supernatural strength, while he sleeps on her lap. Romanino's interpretation of the scene captures the dramatic moment of betrayal with a dynamic composition and emotional intensity that is characteristic of his work.

The fresco is notable for its masterful use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, to create a sense of depth and volume in the figures. Romanino's use of color is also significant, with rich, warm tones that enhance the dramatic effect of the scene. The figures are rendered with a naturalism and individuality that reflect the influence of Romanino's contemporaries, such as Titian and Lorenzo Lotto.

"Samson and Delilah" by Romanino is an important work in the artist's oeuvre and a significant example of High Renaissance art in Northern Italy. It demonstrates the artist's skill in narrative storytelling through fresco painting and his ability to convey complex human emotions. The fresco remains an enduring testament to Romanino's artistic legacy and is a valued cultural treasure within the Cathedral of Cremona.
