FEUERBACH, Anselm: Samson and Delila (Copy after Rubens)

🖼 Samson and Delila (Copy after Rubens), 1848
Munich, Germany

Muscular bodies intertwine in voluptuous curves, rendered with warm flesh tones and dynamic Baroque energy. Feuerbach's copy demonstrates 19th-century reverence for Rubens' sensual mastery, capturing the biblical tragedy's intimate betrayal through physical passion.
