Not who you're looking for? Others named Samson and Delilah: painting by Anthony van Dyck, circa 1620 · opera by Camille Saint-Saëns · 1950 film by Cecil B. DeMille · 1984 film directed by Lee Philips
Samson and Delilah is a 1784 history painting by the Italian-born British artist John Francis Rigaud. It depicts the biblical scene of Samson and Delilah, a popular subject in art. Unusually Riguad chose to show the moment of Samson breaking free of his chains rather than the more famous scene of Delilah cutting his hair. It is also known as Samson Breaking his Bands.
