A dramatic woodcut by Albrecht Dürer depicts the biblical story of Samson wrestling a lion. The detailed print showcases Dürer's skill in capturing human form and emotion.
Albrecht Dürer's woodcut, 'Samson Killing the Lion', presents a dramatic interpretation of the biblical narrative. Dürer, a leading artist of the Northern Renaissance, was celebrated for his technical skill and ability to convey human emotion through printmaking. This work exemplifies his mastery of the woodcut medium, using precise lines to create texture and depth. The composition shows Samson, a figure of immense strength, locked in combat with the lion. His muscular form and determined expression are rendered with careful attention to anatomy. The lion, depicted with a flowing mane and powerful claws, writhes beneath Samson's grip. The background includes a detailed vista of a town and landscape, complete with trees, buildings, and birds in flight. The scene is rendered in stark black and white, typical of woodcut prints, which adds to the intensity of the moment. Dürer's monogram, a distinctive 'AD', is prominently placed in the lower right corner, marking the work as his own. The print reflects the artist's interest in biblical themes and his ability to translate them into visually compelling images.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Albrecht Dürer
Drew a rhinoceros he had never seen that remained the standard image for three centuries, and painted himself in the pose of Christ at twenty-eight.
