"Samson and the Honeycomb" is a 1657 baroque painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino. This artwork depicts the biblical story of Samson, who, after slaying a lion, later finds a swarm of bees and honey in its carcass. The scene, taken from the Book of Judges 14:5-9, illustrates the moment when Samson collects the honey, a narrative that prefigures the riddle he poses at his wedding feast, "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet."

Guercino, renowned for his vigorous compositions and masterful use of chiaroscuro, captures the strength and the surprise of the discovery in Samson's expression and posture. The painting is characterized by its dramatic lighting and rich, warm color palette, which emphasizes the contrast between the light illuminating Samson and the dark, cavernous space of the lion's carcass. The work is a testament to Guercino's ability to convey narrative tension and emotional depth through his art.

"Samson and the Honeycomb" is part of Guercino's later body of work, where his style became more classical and subdued compared to the dynamic and emotional intensity of his earlier paintings. This shift in style was influenced by the prevailing artistic trends of the time and Guercino's own artistic evolution.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Guercino's oeuvre and the Baroque period. As a depiction of a lesser-known biblical episode, it offers insight into the thematic diversity of religious art during the 17th century and Guercino's interpretation of biblical narratives.
