EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the powerful and emotive painting titled "Samson aveugle" (The Blinded Samson) by Lovis Corinth. Measuring 105x130 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece was created in 1912 and is currently housed in the Staatliche Museen in Berlin. The image showcases a visually striking portrayal of Samson, the biblical figure known for his immense strength. In this poignant depiction, Corinth portrays Samson as a blind and handicapped person, emphasizing his vulnerability and suffering. The artist skillfully conveys the physical toll of his injury through bloodstains on Samson's face and body. Chains bind him tightly, symbolizing his captivity as a prisoner. Religion plays a significant role in this artwork, with Christian symbolism prevalent throughout. Corinth's portrait invites viewers to reflect upon themes of faith, sacrifice, and redemption found within biblical narratives. This piece exemplifies Corinth's mastery of capturing human emotion through artistry. With meticulous brushwork and attention to detail, he evokes empathy from viewers who are drawn into Samson's plight. As an important contribution to German art during the early 20th century, "Samson aveugle" continues to resonate with audiences today. Its enduring power lies not only in its technical brilliance but also in its ability to provoke contemplation about our own vulnerabilities as humans facing adversity.
