"Samson and Delilah," Max Liebermann, 1902.
Liebermann (1847-1935) was a brilliant artist at a horrible time. He was a leading proponent of German Impressionism, was a leader of the Berlin Secession, an influential avant-garde art movement, but late in life, at the height of his artistic power, his work was dropped by major galleries because he was Jewish, and later all work by Jewish artists was banned.
He died of natural causes, but his paintings, as well as his personal collection, were looted by the Nazis. Liebermann's heirs are still struggling to reclaim his property.
This version of the story is interesting; Liebermann presents it as a modern battle of the sexes, without reference to any sort of Biblical setting.

"Boulevard of the Parrots," Max Liebermann, 1902.
Liebermann (1847-1935) was that rare creature, a German Impressionist. Like his French colleagues, he was fascinated by light and movement, but always insisted on portraying his subjects clearly.
This was done in the Amsterdam Zoological Garden, depicting the visitors in their summer best, strolling down a promenade where parrots are displayed on perches.
Liebermann was a leading figure in the German art world, including being a leader of the Berlin Secession, a group of artists that broke with the traditional crowd and sought to promote modern work. He was President of the Berlin Academy of the Arts during the Weimar years. A Jew, he was persecuted by Nazis but died quietly at home before the Holocaust began. When the Nazis took over, he's reported to have said to a friend, "I could not possibly eat as much as I would like to throw up." His widow took her own life rather than be taken to a concentration camp, and much of his known works, and his private collection, were looted, with many works still lost.

Reach, reach, reach like the #flower
for the fading fall sun
Our time is short
and we must soak up its warmth
for the winter’s darkness
and give back that warmth
even after we are gone
and forgotten
Let’s leave the world behind
better than we found it
