And His Strength went from Him 1955

Fritz Eichenberg's 1955 wood engraving, "And His Strength Went From Him," is a powerful and expressive depiction of a biblical scene. The artist utilizes stark contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of drama and emphasize the emotional state of the figures. The central figure, slumped and defeated, conveys the weight of the story. The composition, with its strong diagonals and dramatic use of shadow, evokes a sense of tension and impending doom. Eichenberg's work is often praised for its masterful technical skill and emotive storytelling, making this piece a notable example of his artistic style.
