This woodcut by Georg Lemberger, created in 1524, depicts two scenes from the story of Samson. The left panel shows Samson pulling down the pillars of the temple, with a crowd of people looking on. The right panel shows Samson carrying the gates of Gaza on his shoulders, showcasing his incredible strength. Lemberger's detailed engravings and dynamic compositions capture the dramatic events of Samson's life, making this a powerful example of the narrative potential of woodcut art in the early sixteenth century.
