Samson binder to ræves haler sammen for at antænde dem 1863

"Samson binder to ræves haler sammen for at antænde dem," created in 1863 by Danish sculptor Vilhelm Bissen, is a small-scale terracotta sculpture depicting the biblical hero Samson. The work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures Samson's strength as he binds the tails of foxes together, a pivotal moment from the Book of Judges. Bissen's rendition showcases Samson's musculature and determination, while the foxes, symbolic of cunning and revenge, add a layer of complexity to the scene.
