Description
Figure of Samson of the Samson's Fountain by Hans Gieng on Notre-Dame-place at Fribourg, Switzerland. In the Old Testament, Samson tears a young lion apart with his bare hands. From late antiquity, the Church has seen this as a reference to Christ's battle with the devil. In the Renaissance, Samson was also given the politico-prophane meaning of courage and strength. For the fountain figure, Hans Gieng took his cue from a woodcut by Albrecht Dürer.
