Samson and Delilah (van Dyck, London)

Samson and Delilah is a 1620 painting by Anthony van Dyck. He produced it just after his return from Italy and shortly before leaving for London[1] It was heavily inspired by his tutor Rubens's version of the same subject and for a long time was attributed to Rubens. Van Dyck inverted the composition and showed Delilah in white chalk make-up and heavily rouged cheeks, the makeup traditionally worn by Parisian prostitutes. The painting is now held in the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London.[2] He returned to the subject in 1630.
