Sansão e Dalila — História e Análise

Sansão dorme no colo de Dalila enquanto um homem corta cuidadosamente seu cabelo, a fonte de sua força, e soldados esperam na porta. Peter Paul Rubens pintou a história bíblica por volta de 1609–1610 para seu amigo e patrono Nicolaas Rockox, prefeito de Antuérpia, para pendurá-la sobre a lareira de sua casa na cidade. Uma mulher idosa atrás de Dalila espelha seu perfil, talvez um indício de que Dalila também perderá sua beleza um dia. Vendido da coleção Liechtenstein em 1880, foi redescoberto em Paris em 1929 e comprado pela National Gallery de Londres em um leilão em 1980. É óleo sobre painel de carvalho, 185 × 205 cm.
