| Sampson Captured by the Philistines |
Guercino's canvas of 1619 depicts what happened to Sampson immediately after Dalilah contrived to cut his hair. Caravaggio had died less than a decade before the painting of this scene. His influence on other Roman painters in the years immediately after his death must have been overwhelming, to judge by the quotations from his paintings that proliferate in the paintings of others. Below, a further selection of the great Guercino's work preserved at the Metropolitan Museum.
