"Samson Mocked by the Philistines" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Jan Steen, who is renowned for his genre scenes filled with lively characters and moral narratives. The painting depicts the biblical story of Samson, a figure known for his superhuman strength, as told in the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. After being betrayed by his lover Delilah, Samson is captured by the Philistines, blinded, and brought to their temple. In Steen's interpretation, the Philistines are shown mocking the weakened Samson, who is seated helplessly among them.

Jan Steen, born in 1626 in Leiden, was a prolific painter of the Dutch Golden Age, and his works often contained a humorous or satirical take on popular stories and everyday life. "Samson Mocked by the Philistines" is a fine example of his ability to blend drama with a moralizing theme, encouraging the viewer to reflect on the consequences of vice and virtue. The painting is characterized by Steen's skillful use of color, composition, and his keen eye for detail, which brings the scene to life with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

The artwork serves not only as an illustration of a biblical tale but also as a commentary on human folly and the perils of succumbing to temptation. Steen's work often mirrored the society of his time, offering insights into the cultural and social dynamics of the Dutch Republic. "Samson Mocked by the Philistines" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jan Steen, showcasing his artistic talents and his capacity to engage with narrative content in a way that resonates with the viewer both visually and morally. The painting is held in high regard for its historical significance, artistic merit, and the window it provides into the culture of the period.
