Strength, betrayal and fall · Samson's pictorial cycle
Rubens, Rembrandt and Maarten van Heemskerck tell the story of Samson between fight against the lion, love of Delilah, blindness and exploits against the Philistines.
Samson is one of the great heroes of the Book of Judges. Consecrated from birth, he received extraordinary strength linked to the vow of which his hair is the sign. Painters remember several spectacular moments in its history. THE fight against the lion shows almost superhuman power and allows Rubens to deploy body, twist and energy. The episode of Samson and Delilah opposes romantic abandonment and betrayal: Delilah discovers the secret of her strength and has it cut her hair while she sleeps. Capture and blindness become for Rembrandt a drama of light, violence and human reactions. Maarten van Heemskerck represents the feat of the gates of Gaza, carried on the shoulders of the hero. The cycle ends with the temple overturned on the Philistines, the final gesture where victory and death merge. The "Samson" selection notably compares Samson fighting the lion - Peter Paul Rubens and Samson and Delilah - Peter Paul Rubens. His reading favors the material.
Samson's strength fascinates less as an invincible power than as a tragedy: each victory prepares betrayal, fall and the last burst.
