About this work

A bearded, muscular male figure strains against massive angular columns while debris scatters at his feet and dark diagonal forms fill the surrounding space. The black and cream woodcut uses bold geometric cuts to render the rubble and drapery. This print by Johannes Josephus Aarts, dated 1881, depicts Samson destroying the pillars of the temple.
