Bronze dimensions with marble base: Height 17.5" x Width 9" Marble dimensions: diameter 7" Height without base: 16" Weight: 20 lb Inventory: 15STE30112351. This magnificent bronze sculpture, a representation of the biblical figure Delilah, showcases the artistic talent of Emmanuel Villanis. The sculpture captures the essence of Delilah as she emerges from a fabric wrap adorned with circular and rectangular cartouches, each bearing symbolic motifs.

Her face, with deeply sunken eyes, exudes a sense of intrigue and contemplation. The name "Delilah" is inscribed below the bust, adding a touch of authenticity to this masterful creation. The story of Samson and Delilah, as mentioned in the Old Testament, serves as inspiration for this sculpture. It tells the tale of the Philistine princes, enemies of Israel, who promise a reward to Delilah if she uncovers Samson's secret of strength.

With perseverance, Delilah wears down the hero until he reveals the source of his strength, leading to the dramatic climax of the story. This sculpture beautifully captures the depth of emotion and intrigue of this biblical narrative. Made using the traditional lost-wax casting process, this bronze statue ensures the highest quality and attention to detail.

The use of red "Griotte" marble for the base adds an elegant and contrasting touch to the piece. Emmanuel Villanis, the artist behind this work, was a highly acclaimed sculptor of his time, gaining recognition and praise for his artistic talent. This sculpture showcases his style and craftsmanship, making it a valuable and timeless piece that can be passed down from generation to generation as a symbol of art and history.
