Rembrandt van Rijn

The Blinding of Samson

US$ 744.00

Soldiers pin Samson to the ground at the mouth of a tent while Delilah flees with the shorn hair, and a shaft of daylight cuts across the violence like a blade. It is the most physically brutal painting Rembrandt ever made — an early work, staged with all the Baroque force he later abandoned for quietness.

Artist

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) is the central figure of the Dutch Golden Age, unmatched in his handling of light, shadow and human character. He worked through history painting, portraiture and etching, and painted himself roughly a hundred times across four decades. Bankruptcy in 1656 cost him his house and collection but not his output.
