GUERCINO (GIOVANNI FRANCESCO BARBIERI). Samson Captured by the Philistines

Samson Captured by the Philistines. Artist: Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) (Italian, Cento 1591-1666 Bologna). Dimensions: 75 1/4 x 93 1/4 in. (191.1 x 236.9 cm). Date: 1619. The subject of this picture is from the Biblical book of Judges. Samson, whose strength came from his hair, has been shorn by his duplicitous lover, Delilah, and is set upon by the Philistines, who bind him and blind him. The focus of this dramatic and marvelously staged composition--a landmark in the artist's career--is the vigorously modeled back of Samson, struggling to free himself. It is one of several commissions from Cardinal Giacomo Serra, the papal legate to Ferrara. Serra was a notable collector in Rome and also promoted Rubens.

Título:
Samson Captured by the Philistines
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Sansón capturado por los filisteos. Artista: Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) (Italiano, Cento 1591-1666 Bolonia). Dimensiones: 75 1/4 x 93 1/4 pulg. (191,1 x 236,9 cm). Fecha: 1619. El tema de esta imagen es del libro bíblico de los Jueces. Sansón, cuya fuerza provenía de su cabello, ha sido trasquilado por su engañosa amante, Dalila, y es atacado por los filisteos, quienes lo atan y lo ciegan. El foco de esta composición dramática y maravillosamente puesta en escena, un hito en la carrera del artista, es la espalda vigorosamente modelada de Sansón, que lucha por liberarse. Es uno de varios encargos del cardenal Giacomo Serra, legado papal en Ferrara. Serra fue un notable coleccionista en Roma y también impulsó a Rubens
