1)The subject of the picture is Samson.
ReplyDelete2)In the backround it shows a castle, but in Samson's time, there weren't any castle (B.C.), so its a mix of Before Christ and Romanesque architecture
3)The picture depicts Samson as a fierce, determined fighter. He looks strong and is almost as big as the lion itself
4)The backround (castle) disagrees with Samson because there weren't castle in Samson's time
