Über das Gemälde
This scene represents the biblical story of the Israelite Samson and the Philistine Delilah. Delilah seduced Samson into revealing the secret of his superhuman strength, namely his long hair. Without it he would be like any other mortal. This painting was recently reattributed to Rembrandt. Delilah gestures the approaching Philistine with a pair of scissors to be still.
