"Samson Victorious" is a notable oil painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giambattista Langetti, also known as Giovanni Battista Langetti (1635–1676). Langetti was renowned for his intense, dramatic works and his focus on subjects with strong emotional and physical expressions. This painting is an exemplar of his style, depicting the biblical hero Samson, a character known for his superhuman strength as granted by God, as described in the Book of Judges in the Old Testament.

The artwork captures the moment of triumph after Samson slays a lion, a scene that symbolizes the victory of the spirit over brute force and is often interpreted as a prefiguration of Christ's victory over sin. Langetti's mastery in rendering the human anatomy is evident in the muscular depiction of Samson, whose dynamic pose and the tension in his limbs convey the ferocity of the encounter. The lion, although defeated, is portrayed with a sense of nobility and power, adding to the drama of the scene.

Langetti's use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, heightens the emotional impact of the painting and draws the viewer's attention to the central figures of Samson and the lion. The dark, brooding palette and the focused illumination on the subjects are characteristic of the tenebrist style that Langetti and his contemporaries in the Baroque period often employed.

"Samson Victorious" is a testament to Langetti's skill in combining physical realism with psychological depth. The painting not only showcases his ability to depict a narrative with visual impact but also reflects the Baroque era's fascination with themes of strength, heroism, and divine intervention. Although the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the latter part of Langetti's career, which was cut short by his premature death in 1676.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location of "Samson Victorious" is not specified, and it may reside in a private collection or an undisclosed public institution. The painting is occasionally referenced in art historical texts as an example of Langetti's work and the broader context of 17th-century Italian Baroque painting.
