"Samson and Delilah" c. 1613 is an exquisite engraving by the Dutch artist Jacob Matham, a prominent figure in the early 17th-century art scene. Matham, born in Haarlem in 1571, was a prolific engraver and draughtsman, known for his detailed and intricate works that often depicted biblical and mythological themes. This particular engraving illustrates the dramatic and poignant moment from the Old Testament story of Samson and Delilah, found in the Book of Judges, chapters 16:4-20.

The engraving captures the climactic scene where Delilah, having been bribed by the Philistines, deceitfully cuts Samson's hair, the source of his prodigious strength. Matham's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of textures and expressions, which convey the tension and betrayal inherent in the narrative. The composition is masterfully balanced, with the figures of Samson and Delilah occupying the central focus, surrounded by a richly detailed background that enhances the storytelling.

Matham's work is notable for its technical precision and the emotional depth he brings to the characters. The engraving reflects the influence of his stepfather, Hendrick Goltzius, a leading engraver of the time, under whom Matham trained. This piece is a testament to Matham's skill in capturing complex human emotions and his ability to translate them into the medium of engraving.

"Samson and Delilah" c. 1613 is not only a significant work within Matham's oeuvre but also an important example of Dutch Mannerist engraving. It demonstrates the artist's mastery of line and form, as well as his ability to convey narrative through visual means. This engraving remains a valuable piece for the study of early 17th-century Dutch art and the enduring appeal of biblical themes in European art history.
