"The Capture of Samson" is a significant oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, dating from around 1609-1610. This artwork vividly depicts the biblical story of Samson, a figure known for his extraordinary strength, being captured by the Philistines after his lover Delilah cuts his hair, thereby stripping him of his power. The painting is a masterful representation of Rubens' dynamic style, characterized by its dramatic intensity, vibrant color palette, and vigorous movement.

Rubens' portrayal of this pivotal moment is both dramatic and intricate, capturing the tension and betrayal inherent in the narrative. The composition is crowded and tumultuous, with figures dynamically arranged to guide the viewer's eye across the scene. Samson, the central figure, is depicted with a sense of vulnerability and defeat, a stark contrast to the powerful hero described in the Book of Judges. Surrounding him, the Philistines exert their force, emphasizing the theme of betrayal and the shift of power.

The work is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the emotional intensity of the scene and highlights the muscular forms of Samson and his captors, showcasing Rubens' mastery in rendering the human body. Furthermore, the rich, deep colors and the detailed expressions of the characters contribute to the overall impact of the painting, making it a compelling visual narrative.

"The Capture of Samson" is considered an important work in Rubens' oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in combining narrative depth with visual spectacle. It reflects the artist's interest in human emotions, religious themes, and classical antiquity, themes that permeate much of his work. Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
