This woodcut, the carved block of which is preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, represents the biblical scene of the Old Testament, when Samson in the vineyard of Timna meets a roaring lion "the Spirit of the Lord struck him and, with nothing in his hand, tore apart the lion as a kid tears apart. But what he had done he said nothing to his father or mother "(Judges 14, 5-6). Datable to 1497-98, due to the many affinities with the sheets of the Apocalypse, the convincing hypothesis has been advanced that the head of Samson may be the citation of Leonardo Da Vinci's Christ carrying the cross, a drawing preserved in Venice and perhaps present in that city even at the time of Dürer's first voyage.
