About Samson and Delilah – Lucas Cranach – Christian Art Painting
Lucas Cranach the Elder’s makes distinct changes in the composition that differ from the original biblical text. The most significant of these changes is choosing a garden as the backdrop for this biblical scene to unfold. This, coupled with other details within the painting evokes the viewer’s recollection of the two most famous garden scenes from the Bible: Adam and Eve in Eden and Judas’s betrayal of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. These artistic choices are the vehicle that allows Cranach to draw an analogous relationship between the story of Samson and Delilah and two other biblical stories in order to shed light on the qualities of redemption and respect in Samson and emphasize the fault that lies with Delilah because of her betrayal.
