The Blinding of Samson, Rembrandt, 1636
A dark, dramatic painting of a violent scene: a man in a red-brown cloak grips a blade over a half-naked man lying on the ground while armored soldiers pin him down. A woman in a white headscarf looks on from the shadows, and a shaft of light falls across the cave-like setting.
