This work was created shortly after Rubens returned from Italy; where he was heavily influenced by the dramatic \"chiaroscuro\" of Caravaggio. The painting was originally designed to hang above a fireplace; which explains the specific; high-angle perspective of the scene. It captures the exact moment the Philistine barber begins to shear Samson’s hair; stripping him of his God-given strength while he slumbers in Delilah’s lap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003chr align=\"center\" width=\"100%\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Narrative: A Vision of Lust, Shadow, and Impending Fall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSet within a richly decorated; nocturnal interior; every element in the composition reinforces the quiet; heart-pounding drama of the trap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l4 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Sleeping Giant:\u003c\/b\u003e Samson’s massive; muscular back is a marvel of anatomical study; reflecting Rubens’s obsession with classical sculpture.
