This scene is taken from a biblical narrative in which the Israelite hero Samson defeats an army of Philistines using only an animal bone as a weapon. The sculpture depicts the dreadful moment before Samson delivers the deadly blow to a Philistine soldier, whose contorted body is pinned to the ground. Made in Britain in the eighteenth century, it is a copy of a famous and influential sculpture carved by Giambologna, a Flemish-born sculptor active in Florence. Giambologna’s work had initially been intended as a centerpiece of a fountain but was sent abroad as a diplomatic gift and eventually entered the collection of King Charles I of England as a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance sculpture. Unlike the original, which was carved from a single block of marble, this copy was one of a number cast in lead by John Cheere, the leading producer of garden statuary in Britain at that time.
