Sansone e Dalila, also known as Samson and Delilah, is a notable work by the Italian Baroque painter Pietro Novelli, who is often referred to by his moniker "Il Monrealese" due to his origins in Monreale, Sicily. Novelli, born in 1603 and active until his death in 1647, was a prominent figure in the Sicilian art scene and is celebrated for his contributions to the Baroque movement, characterized by dramatic intensity, rich coloration, and dynamic compositions.

The painting Sansone e Dalila captures the biblical story of Samson and Delilah, a narrative from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. This tale revolves around the Israelite hero Samson, who is endowed with extraordinary strength, and Delilah, the woman who betrays him. Delilah, bribed by the Philistines, seduces Samson and discovers that his strength lies in his uncut hair. She subsequently has his hair cut while he sleeps, leading to his capture by the Philistines.

Novelli's interpretation of this dramatic moment is marked by his adept use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, which heightens the emotional tension and underscores the betrayal and vulnerability of Samson. The artist's skillful rendering of textures and expressions brings a palpable sense of realism and immediacy to the scene, engaging viewers in the unfolding drama.

Sansone e Dalila exemplifies Novelli's mastery in blending the influences of Caravaggio's naturalism and the vibrant color palette of the Venetian school, creating a work that is both visually compelling and rich in narrative depth. This painting not only reflects Novelli's technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex human emotions and moral themes through his art. As such, it remains a significant piece within the oeuvre of Pietro Novelli and a testament to the enduring power of Baroque painting.
