Prisoner of the Philistines who gouged out his eyes, Samson, whose strength came back with his hair pushed back, knocks down the pillars of the house and will die with his enemies when the roof will fall (Judges XVI, 28-30)

This powerful religious painting depicts the biblical story of Samson, the captured Philistine prisoner whose strength was derived from his uncut hair. In a dramatic moment resembling Naïve art (primitivism), the scene shows Samson with his hair pushed back as he destroys the temple, bringing down its pillars and himself with his enemies. The artwork may be rendered as a etching on paper, emphasizing stark contrasts. The composition captures the heroic sacrifice and the intensity typical of religious narratives.
