Antique Samson & The Lion Biblical Landscape Oil Painting on Canvas 18"

Description

Antique Samson and the Lion oil painting on canvas. Framed in gold.

In the Bible, the story of Samson and the lion describes how Samson, a man blessed with immense strength by the Spirit of the Lord, encountered and killed a lion with his bare hands while traveling to meet a Philistine woman he planned to marry; this act is significant because it demonstrates Samson's extraordinary power and is the first instance of the Spirit of the Lord coming upon him, allowing him to tear the lion apart as if it were a young goat; later, when he returns to the lion's carcass, he finds bees have made honey inside it, which he eats and shares with his parents without revealing the source.
