Simson overwint de leeuw 1470 - 1475

"Simson overwint de leeuw" is a 15th-century engraving by the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet depicting the biblical story of Samson slaying a lion with his bare hands. The print showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the finely rendered textures of the lion's fur, Samson's flowing hair and clothing, and the rocky landscape. This small-scale artwork, measuring just 92 mm in height and 82 mm in width, is a testament to the power of printmaking in capturing narrative and emotional intensity.
