The Blinding of Samson is an oil on canvas painting by the dutch painter and etcher Rembrandt van Rijn. It was painted in 1636. The story of Samson, which had a great attraction for the Baroque public, is prominent in Rembrandt's production during the thirties. He painted Samson Threatening his Father-in-Law (1635, Staatliche Museen, Berlin) and the Marriage of Samson (1638, Gemäldegalerie, Dresden). His Blinding of Samson more than any other work shows Rembrandt's unrivalled use of the High Baroque style to appeal to his contemporaries' interest in the sensational. It is his most gruesome and violent work. This painting (236 x 302 cm) is currently housed in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt.
