"Samson Tears the Lion Apart" is a red chalk drawing by French artist Michel Corneille the Younger (1642-1708). The drawing depicts the biblical story of Samson, a strong man with supernatural strength, defeating a lion with his bare hands. The scene is set in a landscape with a tree in the background and a city in the distance. This drawing is a testament to Corneille’s skill in capturing movement and drama, using rich cross-hatching to render the dynamic poses of Samson and the lion.
