# Samson and Delilah [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEYDEN, Lucas van]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Woodcut, 413 x 289 mm ## Commentary It can be seen in the woodcut that Lucas van Leyden's success as a designer of woodcuts was due to his ability to emulate Dürer. However, the shading lines and cross-hatching are uneven, and the subtleties of his silvery tones are all but lost in the coarser contours and dense shading in his woodcuts. <p> <table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor="\#99cccc"> <tr valign=middle><td><img src="/support/gif/listen.gif" border=0 valign=middle> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 10 minutes\):<br><a href="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/19\_cent/saint-saens\_delila.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><b>Camille Saint-Saens: Samson et Delila, Delila's aria</b></a> </td></tr></table> ## Related artworks - [Abraham and Isaac on Their Way to the Place of Sacrifice]() - [Adam and Eve \(Expulsion from the Paradise\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Christ Healing the Blind \(detail\)]() - [Christ Healing the Blind]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Dance of Mary Magdalen]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
